History
Sichuan Longfor F.C. was established on September 10, 2013, by Huang Xuejun after he gained investment of 17 million Yuan and the support from the local government in Santai County in Mianyang, Sichuan province to register the club with the Chinese Football Association and play in the China League Two division. Jia Jin was brought in as the club's first Head coach while trails took place to select the squad before the start of the 2014 league season. The first competitive game the club played was a league match away from home on April 26, 2014, against Pu'er Wanhao that they won 2–0 with Yu Di being the club's first goalscorer. In the club's debut season the club ultimately finished in sixth within the group stages and despite briefly appearing like they could make a push for a place within the promotion play-offs their hopes were dashed when Lijiang Jiayunhao beat them on August 30, 2014, in the 14th round 2–1 with a controversial penalty.
In the following league season Huang Xuejun admitted that the club were in financial difficulty and that the Xindahai Group would be investing into the club. After gaining financial stability results on the field saw the club improve and the club finished third within the league. With further investments coming from Sichuan Xindongxin Automobile Service Co., Ltd and then Sichuan Jinmu Mining Co., Ltd the club would become promotion play-off regulars. With the appointment of Li Bing at the start of the 2018 league season the club would finally go on to achieve their first promotion when they won 2018 China League Two division title without losing a single game.
The club was dissolved after they failed to submit the salary & bonus confirmation form before the 2020 season.
