In the early morning of February 16
Jinan Xingzhou Professional Football Club
The official Weibo issued a statement
Decided to withdraw from the Chinese Football Professional League
Regarding the reason for the dissolution, Jinan Xingzhou said in a statement:
During the winter training in Qujing, Yunnan, on January 23, there was a disagreement within the new coaching staff due to work, and the club solved the internal problems internally with the idea of unity, which unfortunately backfired. As the matter was suddenly maliciously and falsely exposed by a self-media who did not dare to return to China on February 5, coupled with the fact that the domestic self-media and fans who did not know the truth continued to escalate the cyber violence of this incident, after many times of communication between the club and the new investor, the two sides became two extreme opposites, and we will explain in the future.
Since its establishment, Jinan Xingzhou has always relied on the football feelings of two investors, with its own funds to maintain the survival of the club, last year under the premise that the club faced many difficulties, won the sixth place in the league, and the unity of the whole team is inseparable.
At present, we don't want to bow to certain forces because of financial problems, and we can't afford to play, so we don't play. I'd rather die standing than kneel and bow my head. After a period of time without success in finding a new sponsor, the club does not want to mix in the Chinese professional league circle, give up halfway, and become infamous again. After discussion, Jinan Xingzhou Football Club decided to withdraw from the Chinese Football Professional League.
In 2013, Jinan Phoebe 88 Football Team, the predecessor of Jinan Xingzhou, was established. For a long time, the team mainly participated in amateur leagues at all levels held in Shandong Province and Jinan City.
At the end of the 2021 season, Jinan Xingzhou successfully won the second prize as the champion of the Chinese Championship. This once grassroots amateur team has ushered in a metamorphosis. In the 2022 season, they came to the Chinese League as the champion of the second division and achieved a "continuous jump".
At the end of 2023, Jinan Xingzhou officially announced that the team's home stadium will be relocated from Jinan to Zaozhuang.
