Qingdao Red Lions

Qingdao Red Lions Football Club (Chinese: 青岛红狮足球俱乐部; pinyin: Qīngdǎo Hóngshī Zúqiú Jùlèbù) is a Chinese professional football club based in Qingdao, Shandong, that competes in China League One, the second tier of Chinese football. Qingdao Red Lions plays its home matches at the Tiantai Stadium, located within Shinan District. The club's youth training takes part in Laixi and several other districts of Qingdao.

As Adelaide and Qingdao incidentally became sister cities in 2014, building on from a sister state relationship between South Australia and Shandong which was established back in 1986 and has since evolved into a prosperous partnership, the club aims to contribute to the development of Chinese football, both on youth level as in competitive league football.
