Beijing Guoan: From the debt crisis to the Chinese Super League championship, the club's transformation road
The Chinese Football Association announced the access list, and Guoan successfully passed the customs
On January 5, Beijing time, the Chinese Football Association officially announced the access list of the 2024 season of the Chinese Super League, China League A and China B leagues, and a total of 64 clubs passed the audit of debt settlement, including 16 teams in the Chinese Super League. It is worth mentioning that Beijing Guoan is also on the list, which means that the club has solved the debt problem that has plagued it for a long time and laid a solid foundation for the preparation of the new season.
Guoan's debt crisis stemmed from the arrest of the club's former owner, Lu Ning, on suspicion of economic crimes, which led to the club's financial chain breaking and preventing it from paying players and coaches on time. In order to avoid being punished by the Chinese Football Association, the club had to ask the Beijing Municipal Government for help, led by the Beijing Municipal Sports Bureau, organized a number of state-owned enterprises and private enterprises to jointly fund, and provided Guoan with a special loan of 200 million yuan to pay off debts.
The transformation of Guoan is indispensable for the support of Mr. Zhou Group
Although the debt problem has been temporarily alleviated, Guoan's road to transformation has not been smooth. The club's new owner, Mr. Zhou, is a businessman with rich football experience and resources, who once invested in Chinese league team Beijing Beikong and is also a loyal fan of Guoan. After taking over Guoan, he said that he wanted to bring a new atmosphere to the club, build a competitive team, and strive to achieve good results in the Chinese Super League and the AFC Champions League.
In order to achieve this goal, Mr. Zhou spared no expense to bring in reinforcements, and introduced a number of excellent players from home and abroad, such as former Brazilian international Oscar, former German international Gotze, well-known domestic stars Gao Lin, Yu Dabao, etc., and also retained the original core players, such as Bakambu, Zhang Yuning, Li Ke, etc., which greatly improved the strength of Guoan's squad. In addition, Mr. Zhou also hired the famous Spanish coach Benitez to develop a new tactical system and training methods for Guoan, which improved the overall level and combat effectiveness of the team.
In addition to the investment in the team, Mr. Zhou also pays attention to the commercial operation of the club, hoping to bring more income to the club, reduce financial pressure and achieve the sustainable development of the club by strengthening commercial realization. To this end, Mr. Zhou used his contacts and resources to reach cooperation agreements with a number of well-known enterprises and brands, provided sponsorship and advertising for Guoan, and also launched a series of fan activities and peripheral products, increasing Guoan's brand influence and market value.
Guoan's future outlook is full of confidence for players and coaches
With the support of Mr. Zhou and the Group, Guoan has completed a magnificent turn from the debt crisis to the Chinese Super League championship, and is fully prepared for the journey of the new season. In a recent media interview, Guoan's players and coaches expressed their confidence and anticipation for the new season.
In the new season, Guoan will attack the champions of the Chinese Super League and the AFC Champions League with a new look and state, and create more brilliance and miracles for themselves and their fans.
Football Guoan, short for Beijing Guoan Football Club, is a professional football club located in Beijing, the capital of China, founded on December 29, 1992, is a founding member of the Chinese Football League A Group A and the Chinese Super League, and is currently one of the only three teams to participate in China's top league in all years. Guoan's slogan is "Always Strive for the First", which represents the ambition and spirit of the club.
Guoan's predecessor was the Beijing Football Team, which has won the Chinese First Division Championship five times and the FA Cup once. In 1994, the professional reform of Chinese football began, and Guoan became one of the first professional teams. In 1995, under the leadership of Jin Zhiyang, Guoan won the league runner-up and the FA Cup, and at the same time defeated AC Milan in Italy, Arsenal in England, Flamengo and Gremio in Brazil at the Workers' Stadium, winning the reputation of "undefeated workers".
In 1997, Guoan was "decoupled" from the Beijing Municipal Sports Bureau, and it was operated and managed by CITIC Guoan Group for a long time. In 1998, Guoan acquired Beijing Vickery Football Club, realizing the replacement of the old and the new. In 2000 and 2001, Guoan won the FA Cup runners-up twice. In 2003, Guoan narrowly escaped relegation from the league, but won both the FA Cup and the Super Cup, becoming a miracle in Chinese football. In 2004, Guoan boycotted the game due to a referee's misjudgment, which caused a shock in Chinese football.
In 2007, South Korea's "Iron Marshal" Lee Jang-so took over Guoan, led the team to win the second and third place in the league, and participated in the Asian Cup Winners' Cup twice. In 2009, after experiencing difficulties such as a change of manager, Guoan won the first Chinese Super League title in the team's history and the first league title in the club's 16-year history. In 2010, Guoan qualified from the group stage of the AFC Champions League for the first time, but stopped in the round of 16.
From 2011 to 2015, Guoan was unable to compete for the championship in the face of the rise of Guangzhou Evergrande, but still maintained the top four rankings in the league and broke through from the group stage of the AFC Champions League twice. In 2016, Guoan completed a capital increase and share expansion, and Sinobo Land replaced CITIC as the club's largest shareholder, which is also the last club to change its shareholder among the founding teams of China's top professional football league. In 2017, Guoan, under the leadership of Manzano, finished fourth in the league and entered the AFC Champions League again. In 2018, under Schmidt's command, Guoan finished runners-up in the league and set a club record for points. In 2019, Guoan lost to Evergrande away at the critical moment of competing for the championship, and finally fell to the runner-up. In 2020, Guoan won the third place in the league, the FA Cup and the quarterfinals of the AFC Champions League in the special season under the influence of the epidemic.
Football Guoan, standing at thirty, is a banner of Chinese football, the pride of Beijing football, and the dream of countless fans. In the days to come, Guoan will continue to uphold the spirit of "always striving for the first" and strive for the glory of Beijing, China and Asian football
