Guangzhou R&F Football Club (simplified Chinese: 广州富力; traditional Chinese: 廣州富力; pinyin: Guǎngzhōu Fùlì) is a professional football club that currently participates in the Chinese Super League under licence from the Chinese Football Association (CFA). The team is based in Guangzhou, Guangdong and their home stadium is the Yuexiushan Stadium that has a seating capacity of 18,000. Their current owners are the Chinese property developers Guangzhou R&F who took charge in June 2011, while The club's name R&F is short for "Rich" (富) and "Force" (力).
The club was originally founded in 1986, in Shenyang and was once named Shenyang Ginde FC (simplified Chinese: 沈阳金德; traditional Chinese: 瀋陽金德; pinyin: Shěnyáng Jīndé) where they played in the 55,000-seater Shenyang Wuilihe Stadium (五里河体育场), until they moved to Changsha in 2007 to reside in the Helong Stadium. When American sportswear and sports equipment company MAZAMBA took over the club in 2010 they relocated the club to Shenzhen in February 2011; however, their ownership was brief, and by June 2011 Chinese property developers Guangzhou R&F gained ownership of the club and moved them to Guangzhou. The club had their most successful season in 2014 as they finished third in the league and qualified for the 2014 Asian Champions League.[1]
History
The club was founded in 1986 by the local Shenyang government sports body to take part in the Chinese football league system and they simply named the club Shenyang (沈阳). The team would start at the bottom of the league system by playing in the second division; however, they would not have to wait long for promotion to the 1988 Chinese Jia-A League, thanks mostly to the league going through an expansion season and Liaoning FC ineligible to field their reserve team in the same division. The club's time in the top-tier would not last very long and they would immediately get relegated after only one season.[2] With the following campaigns it would see the club mostly remain within the second tier, except for a short foray in the 1992 Chinese Jia-A League campaign; however, once again the top-tier experience was short-lived, and they were immediately relegated after only one season.
By the 1994 league season the entire Chinese football league system had become professional, the team were allowed to gather sponsorship and rename themselves Shenyang Liuyao (沈阳东北六药), while the club were allowed to join the top tier due to their 1992 membership.[3] When the team were relegated once more at the end of the season they would rename themselves Shenyang Huayang (沈阳华阳) and then Shenyang Haishi (沈阳海狮, literally Shenyang Sealions) in 1996. Once again the club would win promotion to the top tier; however, unlike before they were able to avoid relegation. This was to be the beginning of the club's establishment within the league, though the team benefitted from several seasons where there was no relegation while the league expanded. In 2001 the club would be taken over by Ginde Plastic Pipe Industry Group, a subsidiary of the Hongyuan Group and the club would change its name to Shenyang Ginde (沈阳金德). In 2007 the club's homeground Shenyang Wuilihe Stadium (五里河体育场) was demolished and while it was expected that the club move to another stadium within Shenyang, especially the Shenyang Olympic Sports Center Stadium, a deal did not go through and the club would move to Changsha in Hunan and changed their name to Changsha Ginde (长沙金德).
After Changsha Ginde were relegated to League One at the end of the 2010 league season the club would be purchased by MAZAMBA and moved into the Shenzhen Stadium in the city of Shenzhen, Guangdong in February 2011. To represent this change the owners would change the club's name to Shenzhen Phoenix as well as changing the home kit from sky blue to green.[4] By May 2011 the club was exposed as having serious financial problems and were struggling to pay their players as well as their hotel accommodation.[5] In serious doubt of completing the season the club was put up for sale and were bought by Chinese property developers Guangzhou R&F who moved the club to the Yuexiushan Stadium in Guangzhou and changed the club's colours back to blue.[6] Under the new ownership results would significantly improve and the club gained promotion back into the top tier at the end of the 2011 China League One season. Back in the top division the team would have a respectable campaign where they finished the league in seventh, which would then see the club's owners decide to commit their long-term future to the club by establishing a football school in Meizhou.[7] The start of the 2013 Chinese Super League season, however, would see the club struggle in the league and the manager Sérgio Farias was fired. Former England manager Sven-Göran Eriksson was appointed to replace him on June 4, 2013 and given a 19-month contract.[8] Eriksson’s first full season would see the club finish 3rd, its highest league finish, and qualify for the Asian Champions League for the first time. However, Eriksson left at the end of his contract and moved to manage Shanghai SIPG who had finished fifth that year.[1]
On January 2, 2015, the club officially announced that Cosmin Contra would be their new manager.[9] Contra coached the club in their maiden appearance in the Asian Champions League, coming through the preliminary stages against Warriors FC and Central Coast Mariners to earn a place in the group stage.[10] However, despite an away victory over Gamba Osaka, Guangzhou R&F were eliminated at the group stage.[11] The club’s league form was also poor and Contra was sacked on July 22, with Li Bing installed as caretaker manager.[12] The club replaced him with Dragan Stojković on 24 August and handed the former Yugoslav international a contract til the end of the 2017 season.[13] Stojkovic preserved R&F’s top flight status as they finished 14th out of 16 teams in 2015.

Rivalries
The club initially took part in the Liaoning Derby, which was a regional fixture contested against Dalian Football Club and Liaoning FC while the club was located in Shenyang.[14] The tie against Liaoning FC was the more intimate affair because both clubs shared the same Shenyang People's Stadium in the 1994 league season compared to the Dalian fixture, which historically saw few meaningful clashes. At the end of the 2006 league season the club left this derby when they moved out of Shenyang.
When the club moved to Guangzhou they would soon form a derby with Guangzhou Evergrande, which is often referred to as the Canton derby.[15] The first derby was played at Yuexiushan Stadium in a league match on March 16, 2012 and Guangzhou R&F won 2-0 at home against the reigning league champions.[16] The venue was significant because it had previously been Guangzhou Evergrande's home ground. However, the two club owners, Zhang Li and Xu Jiayin, don't view the derby with hostility and on the return fixture were seen enjoying a meal together instead of watching the game, which Guangzhou R&F won thanks to a late goal from Yakubu.[17][18]
