Sichuan First City (
Dalian Shide. Despite the sale of the club to the First City Group in 2003, an investigation by the Chinese Football Association found them to still be breaking competition rules, and on January 27, 2006 the club were unable to sell the club's remaining Dalian Shide's shares to the Sichuan Football Association
and were forced to disband.
History
Formed as Sichuan Quanxing (四川全兴) on 8 November 1993, the football club was the football flagship of western China until Qianwei Huandao (now
Chongqing Lifan
) surfaced. In 2002, Sichuan Quanxing was sold to Dahe Group and was renamed Sichuan Dahe.
However, the Dahe Group was found under the influence of
unfair competition, the team was sold again to the First City Group, renamed Sichuan First City and finished 9th in the 2004 and 2005 seasons. The sale had not removed the doubt of Dalian Shide influence, however. After an investigation by Chinese Football Association
, the club was ordered to remove any relationship with Dalian Shide. The club disbanded on January 27, 2006 because the owner Dalian Shide could not make a deal with the Sichuan Football Association in time.
