Dalian Shide was a professional Chinesefootball club based inDalian,Liaoning province, China who played in China's football league system between 1955 and 2012. Their home stadiums were the 55,843 capacityDalian People's Stadium and then later in 1997 they moved to the 30,776 capacityJinzhou Stadium.
The club was initially founded in 1955 asDalian Shipyards and made sporadic appearances within the Chinese national leagues until 1982 when the local Dalian government took ownership of the club and renamed itDalian Football Club. The club won their first major silverware when they won the 1992 domestic cup title. In 1993, the club was reorganised to become a completely professional football team, renamed themselvesDalian Wanda FC and went on to win the first fully professional1994 Chinese Jia-A League title.[2] The tycoonXu Ming and theShide Group would go on to take over the club rename it Dalian Shide.
Achieving a total of eight league titles from both theJia A and the rebrandedCSL Dalian were the most successful club in Chinese football, while in theAsian Football Confederation the club reached the1997–98 Asian Club Championship and2000–01 Asian Cup Winners' Cup finals.
The club accumulated a huge debt and was eventually sold and merged into another club, thus becoming defunct.
The club was founded asDalian Shipyards in 1955. After the 1982 season the local Dalian government took over its ownership and renamed itDalian Football Club to represent the city. The club immediately became a major force within the second tier and eventually win promotion to the top level in 1984 when they won the division title.[3] For the next several seasons Dalian were predominantly top tier regulars except for one season in 1989 when they were in the second tier, however they quickly won promotion and soon went on to win their first domestic cup in 1992.[4]
Soon afterwards theChinese Football Association started to demand full professionalism and sponsorship from all the clubs in China. Dalian went on to be one of the first fully professionalised clubs in China on July 3, 1992. They gained sponsorship in 1993 from theChina Hualu group and then theDalian Wanda Group on March 8, 1994, who changed the club's name toDalian Wanda FC.In the inaugural fully professional1994 league season, the club brought in formerChinese national team managerZhang Honggen to coach the team and under his leadership guide the club to their first ever league title.[5] The following season saw Zhang Honggen decide to not stay on as the club's manager and Dalian were unable to retain the league title, however the club eventually brought in former Chinese international playerChi Shangbin into the club as their new manager. WithWang Jianlin and the full support of his company the Dalian Wanda Group taking full ownership of the club, they started to build a football dynasty by winning the1996 league season undefeated.[6] Domestic dominance continued in the1997 league season while Dalian narrowly just missed out on1997–98 Asian Club Championship and Chi Shangbin decided to leave to take on a position with the Chinese national team. Despite this Dalian had a well-funded and prolific academy that produced numerous Chinese internationals such asZhang Enhua,Li Ming andSun Jihai and with another former Chinese national team managerXu Genbao Dalian were easily able to replicate their success by winning the1998 league title.[7]
In 2000 at the height of their success, Wang Jianlin decided to pull out from football after publicly criticizing Chinese referees for match fixing and he did not return to football until 2011 when his associated Wanda Group sponsored the2011 Chinese Super League after former Chinese FA Vice-chairmen Xie Yalong and Nan Yong stood on trial for bribery.[8]
On January 9, 2000, Wang Jianlin sold Dalian toXu Ming and the Shide Group for 120 millionYuan and the club's name was changed toDalian Shide. The new owners brought inSerbianMilorad Kosanović as their new manager and win another league title in the2000 league season. Kosanović made the men's team by far the most successful team in Chinese football by winning the 2001, 2002 league title, 2001Chinese FA Cup and just missing out on2000–01 Asian Cup Winners' Cup during his reign.[9] When Milorad Kosanović left to coach theSerbia and Montenegro national under-21 football team the club eventually brought inVladimir Petrović who guided the team to the recently rebranded2005 Chinese Super League title as well as 2005 Chinese FA Cup. With the retirement of strikerHao Haidong and Vladimir Petrović leaving to take the Chinese national team management position, the club went through an inconsistent period due to team and coach changes. In 2008, Dalian Shide selected a number of players from its academy to play in a satellite team in the S.League in Singapore, calledDalian Shide Siwu FC.
On 14 February 2010,Zhang Yalin died oflymphoma inDalian,Liaoning, aged 28, after a two-year-battle with the disease.[10]
On 30 November 2012, Dalian Shide were acquired by Aerbin Group and merged intoDalian Aerbin F.C.,[11] although a lot of confusion and rumour surrounded the demise of Shide.[12]
