History[edit]
Zhenjiang Huasa, whose members are mainly the fans of FC Barcelona in China, was founded on 12 December 2014. Huasa, meaning Chinese Barca, was used as the club's name.[2] They played in the 2016 China Amateur Football League and won the winners of 2016 Jiangsu Provincial Football League.[3] Zhenjiang Huasa finished the 6th place in the national finals and won promotion to 2017 China League Two.[4] In December 2018, Zhenjiang Huasa moved to Kunshan and changed their name to Kunshan F.C.[5] With the support of the Kunshan Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government as well as private financing the club were able to gain stability, improve their position to ninth and gain a total of 80310 fans with the highest average attendance of 5534 at the end of the 2019 league season.[6] While the club finished in ninth at the end of the season they were granted promotion to the second tier, due to the expansion of the league and disbandment of Tianjin Tianhai.[7]
In their debut season within the second tier, the clubs Head, Gao Yao was able to guide the team to a third-place finish, however unable to improve upon these results in the following season he was let go by the club on 16 September 2021 and replaced by Sergio Zarco Díaz.[8] In the 2022 China League One campaign, Sergio was able to gain promotion to the top tier for the first time in the clubs history by winning the division with the highest recorded points total in Chinese history for the division.[9] However, the participation did not happen because the club was dissolved. All matches were scratched and awarded 3-0 (or 0–3) to their opponents.
