Shenzhen Shangqingyin (Simplified Chinese: 深圳上清饮), previously named Shenzhen Kingway and Shenzhen Jianlibao, is a Chinese Super League football club, playing at the Shenzhen Stadium in Shenzhen, Guangdong province. They are owned by Beijing Huizhong Tianheng Investment Company, which bought out Jianlibao Group in November 2004. Their Head Coach is Wang Baoshan.
They caused an upset by winning the first ever Chinese Super League season despite financial problems. Their coach Zhu Guanghu was subsequently awarded the coach of the year award and was appointed head coach of the national team.
Since Zhu's departure for the national team, however, the team has fallen from grace and only managed a twelfth placing (third from bottom) in the second season. The new coach was Chi Shangbin, who led the team into the ACL, but resigned due to player power, especially from then-captain Li Weifeng and senior player Yang Chen. Chi was unhappy due to the senior players' influence over the team and excessive gambling and tried to regain control of the squad, but Li Weifeng punched out Chi's office window and Yang Chen repeatedly told Chi of the uselessness of his efforts. Despite the chaos, Shenzhen famously reached the semifinals after defeating Saudi Arabian side Al-Ahli (Jeddah) after losing the first leg in Jeddah. They were heavily defeated by UAE champions Al Ain FC in the semifinals.
