History
Qingdao Hainiu F.C. was established on 29 January 2013 by former players and coaches from Shandong that included Qi Wusheng as chairman, Hao Haidong as managerial director and Su Maozhen as general manager.[1] With the financial backing of 20 million Yuan from Qingdao Central Plaza Business Management Co., Ltd the club would choose the name Hainiu (海牛), which means "The Sea Bulls" despite it once being used by Qingdao Jonoon, another football club in Qingdao between 1994 to 2004, hoping to inspire the golden era of Qingdao football. On the field the team would show their dominance within the league and go through the divisions group stage undefeated, while also beating Meixian Super-X and Shenzhen Fengpeng F.C. to reach the play-off final.[2] In the final the club would defeat Hebei Zhongji F.C. 3-1 to gain promotion to the second tier and win a million Yuan in prize money for the game with a further 3 million won throughout the season.[3]
In December 2015, Qingdao Hainiu F.C. changed their name to Qingdao Huanghai F.C.[4]
