History

edit

Chongqing Tonglianglong was founded on 23 December 2021 by a group of investors led by the Chongqing Football Association,[1] and the squad comprised mainly youth players from Chongqing Furen High School.[2] Upon the club's formation, they bore a variant of a Beijing Renhe badge due to a former connection between the two clubs,[3] and entered the 2021 Chongqing Amateur Super League as Chongqing Youth (Chinese: 重庆青年), a fifth tier of Chinese football.[3] The club then won the Chongqing Amateur Super League after beating Chongqing Linxuan on penalties, and were promoted to CMCL, the Chinese fourth division.[3]

Chongqing Tongliangloong[a] were drawn into group D of the 2022 CMCL.[4] After three games, Chongqing topped their group, with both them and Guangxi Lanhang progressing to the next stage. After a score of 13–0 on aggregate in the elimination round against Chongqing Benbiao, Tongliangloong were drawn into group B of the CMCL finals.[5] After all seven games in the finals, Chongqing Tongliangloong secured promotion to China League Two after a 5–1 win against Jingchuan Wenhui on 14 November 2022, and qualified for a two-legged play-off tie to decide the outright winner of the season.[6] After two 1–1 draws against group A winners Yuxi Yukun Steel, Chongqing lost 4–2 on penalties to settle for second place.[7]

In the 2023 China League Two season, Chongqing Tonglianglong finished top of the South Group claiming 11 wins out of 14, and were qualified for the promotion stage.[8] With three gameweeks to spare in the promotion stage, on 17 September 2023, Chongqing Tonglianglong secured promotion to China League One with a 3–0 win over Hubei Istar.[9] One gameweek later on 10 October 2023, Chongqing Tonglianglong were crowned champions of the 2023 China League Two, after second-placed Dalian Zhixing lost their match against Yunnan Yukun.[10]

While in the 2023 Chinese FA Cup, Chongqing beat CMCL outfit Rizhao Yuqi 6–1 away from home in the first round,[11] and knocked out China League One side Shijiazhuang Gongfu 3–0 in the second round,[12] meaning they would host Chinese Super League club and neighbours Chengdu Rongcheng in the third round. On 23 June 2023, with a 0–0 draw inside 90 minutes, the tie had to be decided by penalties, in which Chongqing prevailed 4–2.[13] After beating fellow China League Two side Nantong Haimen Codion 3–0,[14] they faced Chinese Super League side Shanghai Shenhua in the quarter-finals on 30 August 2023, in which Chongqing lost 2–0, ending their CFA Cup run.[15]

On 9 March 2024, Chongqing Tonglianglong hosted Liaoning Tieren in their season opener. A Yaki Yen goal ensured a 1–0 win for Chongqing Tonglianglong, the club's first ever in the division.[16]
