Langfang Glory City Football Club (Chinese: 廊坊荣耀之城足球俱乐部; pinyin: Lángfáng Róngyàozhīchéng Zúqiú Jùlèbù) is a Chinese professional football club based in Langfang, Hebei, that competes in China League Two, the third tier of Chinese football. Langfang Glory City plays its home matches at the Langfang Stadium, located within Guangyang District.
History[edit]
Langfang Glory City was founded in December 2022, on the brink of dissolution for the Hebei first-team, also based in Langfang.[1][2] As champions of the 2022 Hebei Football League, Langfang Glory City were promoted to the CMCL for the 2023 season.[3] After Hebei's dissolution, a number of their former youth academy players joined Langfang Glory City.[4]
Led by manager Liu Junwei, a former Hebei caretaker manager, Langfang Glory City were drawn into the groups E and F division of the 2023 CMCL.[5] On 12 July, after 5 matches in played at centralised venues in Changzhi, the team finished first place, guiding Langfang into the final round.[6]
Langfang were drawn into group B of the final round alongside the likes of Binzhou Huilong, Guangxi Hengchen, and Guangzhou E-Power.[7] On 8 October, after a 1–0 win over Guangxi Hengchen on home soil, Langfang Glory City gained promotion to the 2024 China League Two with a gameweek to spare by securing first place in the group stage.[8] In the two-legged finals play-offs, Langfang faced up against Shenzhen Juniors, first place in group A. In the first leg, Langfang picked up a 1–1 home draw on 29 October 2023, through a late Shenzhen Juniors equaliser.[9] In the second leg away on 3 November, 1–1 was once again the scoreline after 90 minutes making it 2–2 on aggregate, meaning the game would go to a penalty shoot-out. Langfang won 4–2 on spot-kicks, and they would step up into 2024 China League Two as invincible champions in the 2023 season.[10]
