Dalian Shide (simplified Chinese: 大连实德; traditional Chinese: 大連實德; pinyin: Dàlián Shídé) is a professional Chinese football club that currently participates in the Chinese Super League. The club is currently owned by tycoon Xu Ming (zh:徐明 (企业家)) and the Shide Group while the men's team play at the 30,776 seater Jinzhou Stadium in Dalian, Liaoning, China. The club was originally founded in 1983 as Dalian Football Club and would predominantly play in the top tier where they won one domestic cup title in 1992. In 1993, the club was reorganized to become a completely professional football team and would go on to win the first fully professional 1994 Chinese Jia-A League title Achieving a total of eight league titles from both the Jia A and the rebranded CSL have made Dalian the most successful club in Chinese football, while in the Asian Football Confederation the club have reached the 1997–98 Asian Club Championship and 2000–01 Asian Cup Winners' Cup finals.

History

The predecessor of Dalian Shide was the Dalian Football Club, which was organised in 1982 to replace the struggling Dalian Dockyards team's place in the Chinese second tier at the beginning of the 1983 league season. Under the local Dalian government's ownership, the club would immediately become a major force within the second tier and eventually win promotion to the top level in 1984 when they won the division title. For the next several seasons Dalian would predominantly be top tier regulars except for one season in 1989 when they were in the second tier, however they quickly won premotion and would soon go on to win their first domestic cup in 1992. Soon afterwards the Chinese Football Association started to demand full professionalism and sponsorship from all the clubs in China. Dalian would go on to one of the first fully professionalized club in China and gain sponsorship in 1993 from the China Hualu group and then the Dalian Wanda Group in 1994 who would change the clubs name to Dalian Wanda FC.

In the inaugural fully professional 1994 league season the club would bring in former Chinese national team manager Zhang Honggen to coach the team and under his leadership guide the club to their first ever league title. The following season would see Zhang Honggen decide to not stay on as the clubs manager and Dalian were unable to retain the league title, however the club would eventually bring in former Chinese international player Chi Shangbin into the club as their new manager and with Wang Jianlin and the full support of his company the Dalian Wanda Group taking full ownership of the club, they would start to build a football dynasty by winning the 1996 league season undefeated. Domestic dominance would continue in the 1997 league season while Dalian narrowly just missed out on 1997–98 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 as Zhang Enhua, Li Ming and Sun Jihai and with another former Chinese national team manager Xu Genbao Dalian were easily able to replicate their success by winning the 1998 league title. In 2000 at the height of their success Wang Jianlin decided to pull-out from football after publically criticizing Chinese referees for match fixing and would not return to football until 2011 when former Chinese FA Vice-Chairmen Xie Yalong and Nan Yong stood on trail for bribery.

On January 9, 2000 Wang Jianlin would sell Dalian to Xu Ming and the Shide Group for 120 million Yuan and change the clubs name to Dalian Shide. The new owners would bring in Serbian Milorad Kosanović as their new manager and win another league title in the 2000 league season. Milorad Kosanović would make the men's team by far the most successful team in Chinese football by winning the 2001, 2002 league title, 2001 Chinese FA Cup and just missing out on 2000–01 Asian Cup Winners' Cup during his reign. When Milorad Kosanović left to coach the Serbia and Montenegro national under-21 football team the club would eventually bring Vladimir Petrović who would guide the team to the recently rebranded 2005 Chinese Super League title as well as 2005 Chinese FA Cup, however with the retirement of talisman Hao Haidong and Vladimir Petrović leaving to take the Chinese national team management position the club would go through an inconsistent period due to team and coach changes. In 2008, Dalian Shide selected a number of players form its academy to play in a satellite team in the S.League in Singapore, called Dalian Shide Siwu FC.

On 14 February 2010, Zhang Yalin died of lymphoma in Dalian, Liaoning, aged 28, after a two-year-battle with the disease.
