History
The club was founded in 2007 as a semi-professional football club before it was able to gain enough money to successfully register itself as a professional football club in 2008 to play at the bottom of the Chinese football league pyramid.[1] They would rename themselves Hebei Tiangong and would come second in the Northern Group before being knocked out of the play-offs by Hunan Billows 2–1 in the first round.[2] At the end of the season, they returned to be a semi-professional football club and did not compete in the league the following season.
