History

The club was founded on 29 December 2014 as Nanjing Fengfan F.C. and participated within the Nanjing City League Second Division by the Nanjing Civil Affairs Bureau. Initially formed as youth football training club, on 1 November 2017, the club completed their Chinese Football Association (CFA) registration to participate within the Nanjing Football Association Super League and take part within the Chinese football pyramid.[1] A seventh-place finish and eighth-place finish in the 2018 league season would be enough to qualify for the 2019 Chinese Champions League where they won the division title and promotion to the China League Two.[2]
