Hangzhou Nabel Greentown F.C. (Simplified Chinese: 杭州绿城足球俱乐部) is a Chinese football club who play at 51,000 seater Hangzhou Huanglong Stadium in Hangzhou, Zhejiang. Founded on January 14, 1998 the club's main investor is the Greentown China Holdings Limited company. The team currently play in the Chinese Super League after winning premotion in 2006 and their current manager is Wu Jingui.
History
On January 14, 1998 the Zhejiang green city soccer club limited company was officially established with a capital of 16,000,000 Yuan and Zeng Leming was appointed as their general manager. The Zhejiang green city real estate company, the Hangzhou money pond real estate company, the Zhejiang University and the Zhejiang Province soccer association all participated in the creation as well as the registration of the club[1]. The company would go on to form a youth team before finally creating a senior team on January 22, 1999 to take part in the third tier with Bao Yingfu as their first Head coach. They wouldn't wait long to show their ambition when they would make the play-offs in 2000 before losing to Tianjin Lifei[2]. Still determined to win promotion the club decided to buy the first team of Jilin Aodong as well as their position in Chinese Football Association Jia League on November 23, 2000 for 25,000,000 Yuan, in time for the beginning of the 2001 league season. Under the new general manager Shen Qiang the club brought in new sponsors and Gu Mingchang as the new Head coach, however during this period the club couldn't win promotion to the top tier and the Chairman Song Weiping expressed his disappointment of the team. Off the field the club would go through several management changes as well as ownership changes particularly from the Greentown China Holdings Limited who took a 95% share of the team for 20,000,000 Yuan and decided to rename the club Hangzhou Greentown[3]. Under Wang Zheng as their Head coach the team would start to generally push for promotion, eventually achieving it at the end of the 2006 league season when they came second in the division[4]. The club often found themselves fighting off relegation and would bring in several managers to alleviate the problem, however this wasn't enough during the 2009 league season and the club found themselves in the relegation zone at the end of the season. Surprisingly the club were allowed to stay within the 2010 Chinese Super League after it was discovered that Chengdu Blades and Guangzhou F.C. were guilty of match-fixing[5].
