Since this period of time, many football teams in our country have changed their names. Guangzhou Evergrande is now called Guangzhou Football, Henan Jianye is called Henan Songshan Longmen Football Club, etc. Now even Beijing Zhonghe Guoan has also changed its name. For Beijing’s national security. Changing the name of a football team often means that the company behind the acquisition of these football teams has changed. This time, "Beijing Zhonghe Guoan" has been renamed "Beijing Guoan" precisely because the Zhonghe Group behind the football team is discussing shares with CITIC Group. The acquisition was also in response to the latest relevant policies issued by the Chinese Football Association, so the team's name was changed to "Beijing Guoan".
Beijing Guoan Club has been using the name "Beijing Zhonghe Guoan" since 2017. The biggest reason for this name change is that it was affected by the "Chinese Football Association Professional Club Name Specifications" proposed by the Chinese Football Association. This latest policy "Chinese Football Association Professional Club Name Specifications" clearly stipulates that no inclusion in the name of a football club is allowed. The name, trade name or brand name of the club’s shareholders, related parties or actual controllers must be rectified within the specified time. If it cannot pass the relevant certification of the Chinese Football Association within the specified time, the club will be directly disqualified from the league. . To put it bluntly, the name of the club is not allowed to advertise the company behind it.
At that time, the Guoan Club wanted to retain the use of its name. Many people were even dissatisfied with the relevant policies issued by the Chinese Football Association. At that time, Beijing Zhonghe Guoan had already used the name for more than ten years, both for its players and players. Fans of the team have deep feelings for this name. At that time, the companies behind Guoan, Zhonghe Group and CITIC Group, had been negotiating over equity issues. The dispute was very serious. This equity dispute lasted for more than four months. Fortunately, there was no progress. .
Currently, Zhonghe Group and CITIC Group *** both hold shares. However, due to the neutral name regulations of the Chinese Football Association, the name of the shareholder cannot appear in the name of the club. If Beijing Guoan wants to continue To use the word "Guoan", you must complete the equity change within the time specified by the Football Association. If you fail to pass the certification after the specified time, you will lose the opportunity to play. This time Beijing Guoan has officially changed its name and we will see their grace on the court again.
