History

The club was founded on 7 March 2018 by Chengdu Better City Investment Group Co., Ltd. on the ashes of the dissolved Chengdu Qbao.[1] With the support from the Chengdu Football Association and the appointment of José Carlos Granero as their Head coach the club would start their journey playing within the Chengdu FA Champions League.[2] After winning the division the club would participate within the 2018 Chinese Champions League where they came runners-up to Taizhou Yuanda and promotion to the third tier of the Chinese football pyramid. Consecutive promotions would follow after finishing as runners-up to Shenyang Urban and promotion to the second-tier (China League One) at the end of the 2019 China League Two season.[3]

In the 2020 China League One campaign the club came fourth in their debut season in the second tier and the Head José Carlos Granero decided not renew his contract with the club, despite his achievements with the team.[4] South Korean coach Seo Jung-won would be appointed as their new Head coach for the start of the 2021 China League One campaign.[5] On 15 January 2021, the club changed their name to Chengdu Rongcheng F.C. to comply with the Chinese Football Association's request of teams having neutral names.[6] On 12 January 2022, Chengdu was promoted to the Chinese Super League after beating Dalian Pro 2-1 on aggregate in the promotion/relegation play-offs.[7]
