History

Qingdao Hailifeng Football Club was founded on 18 March 1998[2] and has recently been a regular in the second division. However, the club has never won promotion to the Jia B League, gaining it place in the division only by buying Guangdong Hongyuan in December 2001. After 4 years of failure to win promotion, the Guangdong Hongyuan Group had lost patience and agreed to sell their Jia B League team to Qingdao Hailifeng.

On February 21, 2010 the club was found guilty for accepting a bribe from Chengdu Blades and had their registration cancelled as well as being fined 200,000 RMB for their crime. It was discovered that the club deliberately lost a key game 2–0 during the 2007 league season for up to 500,000 RMB to allow Chengdu Blades to win promotion.[3]
