Dalian Yingbo F.C.
association football club in China
Dalian Yingbo Football Club (Chinese: 大连英博足球俱乐部; pinyin: Dàlián Yīngbó Zúqiú Jùlèbù), currently known as Dalian Yingbo Ocean Development (Chinese: 大连英博海发) for sponsorship reasons, is a Chinese professional football club based in Dalian, Liaoning, that competes in the Chinese Super League, the top tier of Chinese football. Dalian Yingbo plays its home matches at the Dalian Suoyuwan Football Stadium, located within Ganjingzi District.
History
The team was founded on 24 December 2021 as Dalian Duxing Football Club (Chinese: 大连读行足球俱乐部) by a group of former Dalian Shide players led by Chen Dong, who became the club's general manager. The team attracted many Dalian players who previously played at local teams such as Dalian Aerbin and Dalian Transcendence, many of which had Chinese Super League appearances.
In the 2022 season, Dalian Duxing started in the Chinese Champions League. The team placed first in Group I of the regional competition and made it to the final round, where they finished third, and went on to win the promotion play-offs to acquire promotion into China League Two.
At the beginning of the 2023 season, the team changed to a neutralised name Dalian Zhixing Football Club (Chinese: 大连智行足球俱乐部), as requested by the Chinese Football Association, and signed more players from Dalian. Dalian Zhixing finished second in the 2023 China League Two season, to gain promotion into China League One. However, the investors of the team, the Dalian Shanhai Group, were involved in illegal fundraising cases. This meant that the club lost their funding, and was put into a forced auction in December 2023.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Dalian Yingbo F.C.” as association football club in China. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the history & society register because the source frames it as association football club in China. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
The record creator and administrative purpose are central evidence, because official documentation reflects both action and institutional priorities. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 5, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q118904181. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2021, 2022 and 2023.
Official terminology may obscure informal participation, dissent or communities documented only indirectly. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
