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.
