On November 28th, a grand season review feast was staged at Shanghai SAIC Pudong Football Stadium. Xie Dong, Vice Mayor of Shanghai Municipality, and Xu Bin, Director of the Sports Bureau, were present to send sincere congratulations and care from the Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Sports Bureau to Shanghai Seaport Football Club.
In the 2024 season, Shanghai Harbour Team returned with an impressive record - 25 wins, 3 draws and 2 losses for a total of 78 points, which followed last year's CSL title win. This year, they successfully defended their title and lifted the third Vulcan Cup in the team's history. 96 goals scored in the Chinese Super League, 78 points in the championship, 66 goals scored in goal difference, and 16 consecutive victories in a season are all testimony to their remarkable achievements. The "Grand Slam" winner of the domestic soccer tournament.
Xu Genbao, a legend in Chinese soccer and a famous coach, was also invited to attend the ceremony. The scene was a heartwarming and touching one as his favorite student, Stanley Wang, put on the AFC Cup Championship medal for him. Coach Xu witnessed the growth of this group of young players, who started from Chongming Island and eventually realized their childhood dreams and fulfilled their promises to each other. He fondly recalled: "In 1995, I led Shenhua to win the championship, and we were still honored despite our defeat in that AFC Cup showdown with Shandong. Now, the Harbour team has achieved the double title, which is really not easy, and I want to congratulate them." He also humorously mentioned, "At the beginning of the year, Coach Muscat gave me a bottle of champagne and promised to celebrate the championship together. Congratulations to the Harbour team and congratulations to Muscat, but it looks like I'll have to return the champagne."
