Beijing Sport University F.C.

Beijing Enterprises Group F.C. was founded as Beijing Baxy F.C. in 2004 by former Chinese footballers Guo Weiwei, Wang Tao and Guo Weijian as an amateur football club.[1] By 2009 the club's youth team were considered good enough to take part in professional football and the club entered the third tier of Chinese football at the beginning of the 2009 China League Two season. Within their first professional campaign Wang Tao was their Chairman who brought in Cao Xiandong to manage the team. The players wore white tops, black bottoms, white socks for the home kits and blue tops, white bottoms, dark blue socks for their away kit.[2] After a promising start to the campaign that saw them lead the table within the group stage the club ultimately finished third in the play-off and just missed out of promotion to the second division.[3] After failure to win promotion from the previous season the club decided to take over financially struggling China League One side Beijing Hongdeng and took over their position within the league at the beginning of the 2010 league season.[4] In Beijing Baxy's first season in the second tier, they were given a 6-point deduction due to Beijing Hongdeng's late payment of wages for Rajko Vidović in the 2007 season.[5]

Beijing Baxy finished the 15th of 16 teams in the 2012 season and was supposed to relegate to China League Two; however, they were spared from relegation due to Dalian Shide's dissolvation. On 26 February 2013, Croatian manager Goran Tomić was officially announced as the new coach of the club.[6] After signing some high level players such as Stephen Makinwa, Lucian Goian, Ryan Griffiths and Hu Zhaojun, Beijing Baxy finished historic high record of 7th place if the 2013 season. Beijing Baxy had a 21-match-unbeaten (8 wins and 13 draws) start in the 2014 season. They remained the hope of promotion until the last round and eventually finished in 4th place. Goran Tomić won China League One Coach of the Year award in December 2014.

On 25 December 2014, Beijing Enterprises Holdings Limited bought majority shares of the club and the club name was changed into Beijing Enterprises Group F.C.[7] They would also change the club's badge and home kit from all white to blue and red as well as bring in former Beijing Guoan manager Aleksandar Stanojević on 12 January 2015 on a three-year contract with the club.[8]

On 30 December 2016, the team officially sacked Aleksandar Stanojević, and signed Yasen Petrov as their new manager.[9] On 5 June 2017, Beijing Enterprise player, Cheick Tioté died after suffering a heart attack during training at the age of 30. The club retired Tioté's number 24 shirt on 24 June 2017.[10]
