History

Chongqing F.C., the second club of Chongqing, was established by Chongqing Football Management Center on December 30, 2010.[2]

The club then started to play in the 2011 China League Two. In their search for first head coach, Pei Encai attracted Chongqing's attention. Pei was the manager of Chinese Super League club Jiangsu Sainty who had ended the Season 2010 on 11th place. Chongqing F.C. signed Pei Encai along with some of his players at Jiangsu, Di You, Zhi Yaqi, Wang Yang and Wang Xiang. Following a poor run of results, Pei stood down as head coach of Chongqing F.C. and was replaced by Zhao Faqing on June 21, 2011.[3] The club signed some former Chinese Super League players such as Zheng Wei, Ma Xiaolei and Guo Mingyue during the summer transfer window. In the end, they came second in the South Division of 2011 China League Two and qualified for the play-off stage. They went on to win both their legs of the quarter-finals against Shandong Youth, and gained promotion to China League One after brushing aside Dongguan Nancheng in the semi-finals. They advanced to the final but narrowly lost in the penalty shoot-out against the eventual champions Harbin Songbei Yiteng.

The club was dissolved due to relegation and being short of funds in December, 2013.
