Fifth in the debut season, third in 2024 and third again in 2025, which brought AFC Champions League Elite football. Twice in those two years they went out at the semi-final stage of the Chinese FA Cup.
Seo Jung-won took charge in 2021, when the club was still in the second tier, and stayed until 2025. He also had Elkeson, the former China international striker, from 2023 onwards. John Aloisi inherited the job in 2026.
