Henan Football Club (Chinese: 河南足球俱乐部; pinyin: Hénán Zúqiú Jùlèbù), currently known as Henan F.C. Jiuzu Dukang (Chinese: 河南俱乐部酒祖杜康) for sponsorship reasons, is a Chinese professional football club based in Zhengzhou, Henan, that competes in the Chinese Super League, the top tier of Chinese football. Henan plays their home matches at the Hanghai Stadium, located within Guancheng Hui District. Their owners are the Jianye Residential Group (China) Co., Ltd., which is part of the Central China Real Estate Limited. Their name referred to Jianye, a former name of the ancient city of Jiankang.[2]
The club's predecessor was the Henan Provincial Team, which was founded in 1958, while the current professional football team was established on 27 August 1994 as Henan Construction (Chinese: 河南建业). The club has never won the league title and the highest position they have ever achieved was when they came third in the 2009 Chinese Super League season.[3] In 2010, the club changed its name to Henan Jianye, and once more in 2021 to Henan Songshan Longmen, before changing to its current name in 2023.
