Sichuan Jiuniu Football Club (Simplified Chinese: 四川九牛足球俱乐部) is a Chinese football club based in Chengdu, Sichuan, China. It currently plays in the China League Two.

History

After Chinese Super League's team Sichuan Guancheng disbanded, the sports department of Sichuan province decided to establish a new club. The new club, Sichuan F.C., was founded in February, 2006.

In February 2019, City Football Group purchased the club.^[1]^[2]

On 23 May 2020, the Chinese Football Association announced that eleven professional clubs across China's top three divisions would have their registration cancelled over a failure to pay player wages.^[3] As a result, the CFA announced a reclassification of the teams which would contest their professional divisions. According to this reclassification, Sichuan Jiuniu was promoted to China League One for the 2020 season,^[4] which had already been delayed because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
