Hunan Shoking F.C.

Hunan Shoking Football Club () is a professional Chinese football club based in Changsha, Hunan Province, and participated in the China League One division under licence from the Chinese Football Association (CFA), after taking over Chongqing Lifan's place in the league before the 2014 season, but was relegated and dissolved after spending three seasons there.
History.
Before the start of the 2004 Chinese football league season, Chongqing Lifan annexed Yunnan Hongta and took over their place in Chinese Super League. A new club, Hunan Shoking F.C., was formed by Hunan Corun New Energy Co. Ltd. () by merging existing two amateur teams already representing Hunan Province, Yiyang Corun and Hunan Wuqiang Hongdao, to take over Chongqing Lifan's spot in China League One by buying the club's registration into the division for 20 million Yuan. On January 15, 2004, the club was inaugurated into the Chinese football league. They hired former Chinese Olympic medalist Xiong Ni as their Chairman and former Chinese international footballer Zhu Bo as their first manager. Playing in the 55,000-seat Helong Stadium in Changsha, the club had international players – Fu Bin and Srđan Bajčetić – while the youth team called Xiangxue Pharmaceutical participated in the 2004–05 Hong Kong First Division League to gain experience. Although the youth team had limited success, the senior team fared little better and struggled in their debut season by finishing tenth at the end.
The following season was extremely difficult for the club, Miloš Hrstić came in as manager but had an extremely high profile dispute with the owners about unpaid wages. It was soon discovered that the club were in financial difficulties due to an excessive wage bill for their players along with renting of Helong Stadium. The ownership of the club moved to the company Bailong and their general manager Sun Yingui for a brief period. However this was short-lived and Hunan Corun took over the club again. While this was going on Li Hui was managing the side with little success. He and his players reached a breaking point after a humiliating 5–1 defeat to Shanghai International on June 18, 2005 in a Chinese FA Cup game. Li Hui publicly criticized his players' lack of commitment before deciding to leave the club. Wang Tao was brought in as his replacement to manage the club. The team finished in a disappointing twelfth but remained in the league. Li Kejia was brought in as a new manager in the 2006 league season, but was unable to stop the losing streak of the club in the new season, to the point when former Chinese international Hao Haidong was brought in as a General manager to help with the team. This turned out to be fruitless and the club finished at the bottom of the league, relegated to the third tier, then folded afterwards.
