Description Available in: Wuhan Yangtze River Football Club, formerly Wuhan Zall Football Club (simplified Chinese: 武汉长江; traditional Chinese: 武漢長江; pinyin: Wǔhàn Chángjiāng), is a defunct Chinese football club that participated in the Chinese Super League under licence from the Chinese Football Association (CFA). The team is based in Wuhan, Hubei and their home stadium is the Dongxihu Sports Centre that has a seating capacity of 30,000. Their current majority shareholder is the investment company Wuhan Zall Development Holding Co. Ltd.
The club was founded in 2009 after the withdrawal and then dissolution of its predecessor Wuhan Optics Valley from the league after the club had a dispute with the Chinese Football Association over their on-field behaviour. The Hubei Province soccer association decided to help form a new team with players mainly from the former Wuhan Optics Valley and Hubei youth teams. They entered at the start of the 2009 league campaign at the bottom of the professional Chinese football league pyramid in the third tier. The team won promotion to the 2013 Chinese Super League after coming runners-up in the 2012 China League One division and spent only one season in the top flight before being relegated back down. In 2018, the team won the League One again and earned their second season in the top flight. They stayed there until the 2022 Super League, where they were once again relegated to League One after finishing 16th.
On 25 January 2023, the club announced that it decided to withdraw its participation on any competition managed by the Chinese Football Association, which means the club has dissolved.
