History
The football club were originally known as Northeast China team who were founded in 1953 after China had created their fully national football league table. They achieved success quickly when they won the 1954 league title and would continue to be a regular competitor within the football league until 1959 when they would rename themselves after their province. They would eventually establish themselves as a semi-professional football team and it was this which saw them become a dominant team within the football league as well as in asia during the 1980's and 1990's. With the the football association demanding more professionalism Liaoning would have to achieve this when they gathered sponsorship by Zhongyu Automobile Company and rename themselves Liaoning Zhongyu (辽宁中誉). By the 1994 league season the entire Chinese football league season had become professional and Liaoning would quickly follow when they offically became professional in 1995[1]. Liaoning's transition toward professionalism was differcult and they found themselves relegated at the end of the 1995 league season[2]. The team had to spend sveral seasons in the second tier before they were able to achieve premotion to the top tier once more when the came runners up in the 1998 league season[3].
The club's backup team had become a satellite team in Singapore's S.League called Liaoning Guangyuan FC, which disbanded in 2007 after a match fixing scandal in Singapore.
