Guangxi Lanhang Football Club (simplified Chinese: 广西蓝航足球俱乐部; traditional Chinese: 廣西藍航足球俱樂部; pinyin: Guǎngxī Lánháng Zúqiú Jùlèbù) is a Chinese professional football club based in Laibin, Guangxi, that competes in China League Two, the third tier of Chinese football. Despite being based in Laibin, Guangxi Lanhang plays its home matches at the Baise Sports Center Stadium, located within Baise, Guangxi.
History
[edit]Guangxi Lanhang was formed in January 2021 as part of the football branch for the Guangxi Lantian Aviation Technical College in Laibin, Guangxi.[1] Upon its formation, the first-team consisted of footballers from the Guangzhou City youth ranks.[1] The club represented Guangxi in the 2021 National Games of China,[2][3] and competed in the Guangxi Super League in 2021, in which competition the club eventually won,[4] and enrolled in the 2021 CMCL, the Chinese fourth-tier.[1] In the same year, Guangxi Lanhang began its recruitment process for the affiliated Laibin Lanhang Football School in addition to the first-team.[4] After topping their 2021 CMCL group over Yunnan Yukun Steel, they were eventually knocked out of the competition by Hubei Huachuang.[5]
In 2022, Guangxi Lanhang were promoted to compete in the CMCL again, this time as champions of the Guangxi Champions League, by defeating Nanning Youth on the final matchday.[6] After qualifying out of their group in second place behind Chongqing Tongliangloong in the 2022 CMCL regionals, the club continued their form as they claimed third place, winning promotion to China League Two.[7]
In Guangxi Lanhang's first season in China League Two, the club finished fifth place, with Wang Haozhi scoring the club's first ever professional goal in a 1–0 victory at Hainan Star on 29 April 2023.[8]
