At the turn of the century, at the end of 1999, Dalian Wanda Group decisively absorbed a number of new forces from Yiteng Football Club and gave them to Shide for free, including Yu Ziqian and Zhu Ting, such as excellent players.
Dalian Wanda legend Xu Hui is the team's advisor, while Lin Shuangpeng, who has made a name for himself in Dalian, is the team's leader. On the coaching bench, Coach Zhang and Coach Wang Xuanhong were once youth training products of Dalian Shide. In 2024, with the dissolution of the Dalian People's team, after a short break, Zhang Miao devoted himself to youth soccer training, while Wang Xuanhong helped Dalian Yingbo to succeed in promotion. At the same time, due to a number of factors, the team plans to recruit many players with professional league experience. It is assumed that the Dalian team will be a strong contender for the second division.
(Dalian Haiqing Changlong's lineup may have changed drastically compared to last year's.)
The predecessor of Dalian Haiqing Changlong was the development zone Pengdao soccer team, which was established in August 2008. By 2024, it was officially registered as a limited company, and the initial team name was Dalian Haiqingdao Xinghong Zhizao. The club has a deep foundation of cooperation with Haiqingdao Street of Dalian Jinpu New District, and its development philosophy is to deeply explore the potential of amateur soccer, promote the marketization of the soccer industry, and hope to establish a sustainable professional soccer club. As the first team to prepare for the Champions League, Dalian Haiqing Changlong has begun intense preparations for the match, with many professional players joining the team. The team's head coach is Xu Renke and the leader is Cao Keke, both of whom have been engaged in youth soccer training in Jinpu New District for many years.
Established in 2023, Dalian Hanying Football Club is centered on youth training. The club has hired Cheng Xianfei as its youth training director, and Cheng's disciples have even been able to form a starting lineup for the national soccer team. This year, Dalian Hanying Football Club plans to form a team to compete in the Chinese Champions League. Coach Teng Renjun, who also has many years of experience in youth training, was the coach of China B team Hunan Xiangtao last season and led the team to the first division.
May the soccer newcomers from these three cities shine in the Champions League and bring endless surprises to their hometown fans.
