Qingdao Hainiu is a veteran team in Chinese soccer, with a history of winning the CFA Cup and a relatively well-developed youth training system. However, under the impact of "Golden Dollar Football", the small-scale Qingdao Hainiu were once relegated to the China B League, and did not win the China B Championship until 2021. Last season, they finished as runners-up again in China's first division, returning to China's top league after nine years!
In order to gain a better foothold in the Chinese Super League, Qingdao Hainiu made a bold new recruitment in this transfer window. Previously, a number of internal and external reinforcements have been recruited, including Ma Xingyu, Xu Dong, Forbes, Saric, Evans and Andrejevic.
