Qingdao University of Science and Technology F.C. (Simplified Chinese: 青岛青科足球俱乐部) are a professional football club based in Qingdao, Shandong in China where they play their home games in the Qingdao Hushan Stadium. The club was founded in 2005 by the Qingdao University of Science and Technology as an amateur college football team before turning professional in 2009 when they gained sponsorship and joined the bottom of the Chinese pyramid by playing in the Chinese Yi League.
History
The club was founded in 2005 by the Qingdao University of Science and Technology as an amateur college football team where they played in the local university and regional league system. After gaining some significant success within these leagues the club would gain interest from some sponsors and produce enough funds for the 3 million Yuan required to turn professional and enter the bottom of the Chinese pyramid by playing in the Chinese Yi League. The clubs debut season in the 2009 Chinese League Two was, however, a huge disappointment- and the club finished rock-bottom within their division. This saw the club decide to remain absent in the 2010 league season and return to their regional league, however the club would return to professional football in 2011.[1]
