Shaanxi Union Football Club (Chinese: 陕西联合足球俱乐部; pinyin: Shǎnxī Liánhé Zúqiú Jùlèbù) is a Chinese professional football club based in Xi'an, Shaanxi, that competes in China League Two, the third tier of Chinese football. Shaanxi Union plays its home matches at the Weinan Sports Center Stadium in Weinan, Shaanxi. Initially founded in 2013 as Xi'an Huilong Football Club and later known as Binzhou Huilong Football Club and Shaanxi Chang'an Union Football Club, Shaanxi Union is the phoenix club of Shaanxi Chang'an Athletic, which dissolved in 2023.

History

[edit]

Founded as Xi'an Huilong Football Club (Chinese: 西安辉龙足球俱乐部; pinyin: Xī'ān Huīlóng Zúqiú Jùlèbù) in October 2013, the club was based in Xi'an, Shaanxi, and had previously competed in various Shaanxi FA-sanctioned amateur leagues, competing as either Xi'an Huilong or Shaanxi Huilong.[1] In 2018, Xi'an Huilong competed in the 2018 CMCL.[2] In 2019, Xi'an Huilong competed in the 2019 Sina Golden Futsal League, a five-a-side football tournament.[3] The club moved to Binzhou, Shaanxi in March 2020, where they have used the name Binzhou Huilong.[4]

On 29 March 2023, Shaanxi-based club Shaanxi Chang'an Athletic were dissolved after failing to register for the 2023 China League One season. Subsequently, Athletic's phoenix club was founded as Binzhou Huilong was purchased by investor Zhang Wei, and a number of players and staff of the former Shaanxi Chang'an Athletic setup joined the club.[5] The original Binzhou Huilong team that Shaanxi Chang'an Union took over then formed Xianyang Binzhou Huilong F.C., a new club that would still play in the Shaanxi National Super League.[6] In the 2023 Shaanxi National Super League season, Xianyang Binzhou Huilong finished fourth place.[7]

Binzhou Huilong were then admitted into the 2023 CMCL, the Chinese fourth-tier, from a recommended team berth given to the Shaanxi FA by the Chinese FA, officially under the name Shaanxi Binzhou Huilong Football Club Everyday Chain Team[8] in a sponsorship with the Everyday Chain. Under manager Huang Yong, who had most recently been a youth team executive at Chang'an Athletic,[9] they topped their group, finishing first overall in CMCL's Rizhao regional group, to qualify for the final round.[8] On 10 May 2023, the club was rebranded as Shaanxi Chang'an Union Football Club.[10][11]

Shaanxi Chang'an Union were drawn into group B of the 2023 CMCL final round,[12] and were up against Dalian Huayi first. Union drew the game 1–1,[13] and three days later on 6 September 2023, it was announced that Huang Yong would no longer be the Shaanxi Chang'an Union manager.[14] The following day, former Athletic manager Óscar Céspedes was appointed as Union's new manager.[15]

Union then went on a two-game losing streak, an early stump for Céspedes and his players. On 17 September, after a narrow 1–0 home loss to Guangzhou E-Power and clapping the 26,156 fans in attendance post-match, club captain Ding Jie kneeled down to the Shaanxi fans in apology.[16] On 14 October 2023, after all seven games in the 2023 CMCL final round group stage and four straight wins to adjust themselves back on track, Shaanxi Chang'an Union finished 4th in their group of 8, settling for play-offs. In the promotion play-offs, Shaanxi Chang'an Union defeated Changchun Shenhua on penalties after a 1–1 draw at the Weinan Sports Center Stadium, with Shaanxi goalkeeper Li Chen making two saves in the shoot-out to book their place in the final.[17] On 29 October 2023, Shaanxi went on to beat Guangzhou E-Power 2–1 away from home in the play-off final thanks to goals from Ma Yangyang and Pang Zhiquan, both former Athletic players, winning promotion to China League Two.[18]

On 26 January 2024, the club rebranded its name to Shaanxi Union Football Club.[19][20] On 20 February of the same year, Shaanxi Union moved into the Shaanxi Province Stadium, and would move once again to the Xi'an International Football Center during mid-season.[21]

Club identity

[edit]

Part of the club's name, Union refers to a hope that Union could "unite all forces."[22]

Historically, Shaanxi Chang'an Athletic bore a red shirt and navy shorts, which Shaanxi Union inherited the colour scheme of, on Union's first ever kits in 2023. According to a Weibo poll posted in June 2023 by Shaanxi Chang'an Union's official account on the supporters' preferred colour for the home kit, the black option was the most popular amongst supporters, with red and yellow behind black in second and third respectively.[23]

Nicknamed the Northwest Wolves, clubs from Shaanxi have historically had good ties with the supporters of the club. A well-known Shaanxi chant is "Shaanxi dui, Xibeilang!" (陕西队, 西北狼!),[24] where Shaanxi dui is Chinese for "team Shaanxi", and Xibeilang is the Chinese word for Northwest Wolves. In addition, Shaanxi Union have also adopted the saying, "the People's Club for the people" (人民球队为人民), as one of the club's mottos.[25]

During the Xi'an Huilong and Binzhou Huilong eras, the club had used two badges, both with a Chinese dragon represented, in reference to the club's name, as long is the Chinese word for "dragon". In the 2023 CMCL season, Shaanxi Chang'an Union used a modified version of the former Shaanxi Chang'an Athletic badge, with only the name and the creature on the badge different. In July 2023, the Shaanxi Chang'an Union's current badge was unveiled. Voted by fans, the badge depicts a shield made up of stylised letters S in red and C, which forms a U in bottom section, in black, which form the initials of the club name, as well as a Xibeilang at the centre of the badge. Atop the word "Union", a part of the stylised S depicts battlements, which reference the Xi'an City Wall.[26]

Mascot

[edit]

The club's mascot is Union (Chinese: 有你安; pinyin: Yǒunǐ'ān; lit. 'Safe with you/Chang'an with you'; stylised as UNION). Union is a gray wolf that was unveiled on 8 December 2023 after a member vote on its name, and it wears Shaanxi's number 12 shirt.[27]

Club anthem

[edit]

After two rounds of voting, Shaanxi Union's anthem was determined to be Union Union (Chinese: 联合 联合; pinyin: Liánhé Liánhé) by Liang Hongrui, on 30 December 2023.[28]

Stadium and training ground

[edit]
Main articles: Weinan Sports Center Stadium, Shaanxi Province Stadium, and Xi'an International Football Center

On 22 July 2023, Shaanxi Chang'an Union played a friendly match against Uzbekistan Super League side FC Surkhon Termez at the Yulin Sports Center in Yulin, Shaanxi.[29] Though only a friendly, the match was the first in Union's history to be played in their home province of Shaanxi.

In the 2023 season, Shaanxi Chang'an Union played all of their competitive home matches at the Weinan Sports Center Stadium, after announcing that three of the four final round matches would be played at a renovated Shaanxi Province Stadium.[30] On 17 September 2023, in a home CMCL game against Guangzhou E-Power, Shaanxi Chang'an Union broke the attendance record of the Chinese fourth-tier, at 26,156 spectators.[31][32]

On 20 February 2024, Shaanxi Union announced that the club will play home matches in the 2024 season at the Shaanxi Province Stadium for the first stage of the season and at the Xi'an International Football Center for the second stage of the season.[21] However, on 20 April 2024, the club announced a move back to Weinan.[33]

Xi'an International Football Center, the ground Shaanxi Union plan to move into in 2024

Since 2023, Shaanxi Union's training ground had been Fengdong Football Park, located in the Chang'an District of Xi'an.[34]

Support

[edit]
Shaanxi Province Stadium, the location of Union's flagship store

In January 2023, Shaanxi Chang'an Athletic launched a campaign to "save the club", by opening up to its supporters the purchase of club memberships, which included shares of the club and season tickets, in hopes that it would pay off Athletic's debt.[35] Within the first day, roughly 8,000 Shaanxi supporters bought memberships, raising close to ¥10 million for the club. Two months later, Chang'an Athletic were denied entry into the 2023 season by the Chinese FA and subsequently announced dissolution,[36] and every membership purchased was refunded by Athletic in full.[37] Upon the formation of Shaanxi Chang'an Union in May 2023, the club left its finances in the hands of Shaanxi fans a second time, with plans to transition into being a fan-owned club. Though the two clubs had little connection between each other in terms of ownership, within the first 24 hours of Union's shares being public, over 5,200 Shaanxi supporters enrolled in the memberships.[38] In July 2023, Shaanxi Union held a contest to decide its new club crest. The winner was voted by supporters, and all candidates were designed by supporters.[26] In August 2023, the Jiangsu-Zhejiang-Shanghai Northwest Wolves Supporters' Group funded a team bus for the club.[39] On 28 August 2023, Union opened their official flagship store, located just outside Shaanxi Province Stadium.[40]

Also known as "the People's Club", noting the club's strong connections with its fans,[25] the club is sometimes compared in Chinese media to German side 1. FC Union Berlin, for their similar names and their fan-initiated self-revivals.[5]

Ownership

[edit]

Upon forming the phoenix club, Shaanxi Union had seen investment from their supporters,[38] but the club's chairman had been Zhang Wei, a former investor of Chang'an Athletic,[41] who made a last-ditch effort to save Athletic from dissolution.[42] On 16 September 2023, Qin Ying Sports signed a contract to take over the club as its major shareholder, which had Qin Ying Sports own 65% of the club's equity, and the supporters accounted for 35%. Former Guangzhou City chairman Huang Shenghua was appointed as the Union chairman. Meanwhile, Zhang Wei, the former chairman and general manager, was decided to be temporarily in charge for the 35% from the supporters, until a supporter-owned organisation could be formed.[41]

Records and statistics

[edit]
Main articles: List of Shaanxi Union F.C. records and statistics, Shaanxi Union F.C. league record by opponent, and List of Shaanxi Union F.C. seasons
