Dalian Zhixing F.C.

The team was founded in 2021 as Dalian Duxing (Chinese: 大连读行足球俱乐部).[1] Upon establishment, the team has strong connection with the dissolved Dalian Shide, as the coaching staff consisted of former Shide players.[2] 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.[3]

In the 2022 season, Dalian Duxing started in the Chinese Champions League. Dalian Duxing ranked 1st in group I of the regional competitions, and advanced into the final rounds, where they finally ranked 3rd, and eventually won the promotion playoffs to acquire promotion into the China League Two.

At the beginning of the 2023 season, the team changed to the current name,[4] and further signed more Dalian players.[5]

As of 2022 season. [3]
