Liaoning Football Club[3] (simplified Chinese: 辽宁足球俱乐部; traditional Chinese: 遼寧足球俱樂部; pinyin: Liáoníng Zúqiú Jùlèbù), officially known as Liaoning Hongyun[1][4] (simplified Chinese: 辽宁宏运; traditional Chinese: 遼寧宏運; pinyin: Liáoníng Hóngyùn), was a professional association football club with a long history in Chinese football. The club can predate their formation to 1953, when Shenyang government sports body joined existing club Northeast China to play in the Chinese national football league. By 1956, the league was gradually expanded and regional sports institutes' own representatives were allowed, which eventually formed Liaoning Football Club. The club won several titles as well as the 1989–90 Asian Club Championship when they beat Nissan Yokohama in the final, making Liaoning FC the first Chinese club to win an Asian club championship trophy.[5] Since February 26, 1994, the team was established as a full professional football club to play in the 1994 Chinese Jia-A League season, making them one of the founding members of the first fully professionalized top-tier league in China.
The team was based in Shenyang, Liaoning Province and their home stadium was the Tiexi New District Sports Center that has a seating capacity of 30,000. Their majority shareholders were the Liaoning Sport Technology College and the Huludao Hongyun Group Co., Ltd, which was part of the real estate and financial conglomerate the Hongyun Group.[6][7]
According to Forbes, Liaoning were the 10th most valuable football team in China in 2015, with a team value of $67 million, and an estimated revenue of $14 million.[8]
On 23 May 2020, Liaoning Football Club was disqualified by Chinese Football Association (CFA) due to wage arrears.[9]
