Shenzhen Peng City Football Club is a Chinese professional football club based in Shenzhen, Guangdong. The club competes in . Shenzhen Peng City plays its home matches at the Shenzhen Stadium, located within Futian District. They are partially owned by the City Football Group.

Founded as Sichuan Jiuniu Football Club in 2017, the club relocated to Shenzhen, Guangdong from Chengdu, Sichuan in January 2024, when it rebranded to their current name.

History

The club was founded on 5 January 2017 as Sichuan Jiuniu. They participated in the 2017 China Amateur Football League the same year and managed to advance to the national play-offs, but was eliminated by Zhaoqing Hengtai in the first round. They were ranked 10th and later admitted into China League Two due to the withdrawal of several other teams.

On 20 February 2019, it was announced that the City Football Group, a subsidiary of Abu Dhabi United Group, as well as UBTECH and China Sports Capital, had acquired the club.

On 23 May 2020, the Chinese Football Association announced that eleven professional clubs across China's top three divisions would have their registration cancelled over a failure to pay player wages. As a result, the CFA announced a reclassification of the teams which would contest their professional divisions. According to this reclassification, Sichuan Jiuniu was promoted to China League One for the 2020 season, which was delayed because of the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2022, Sichuan Jiuniu expressed its interest to relocate to Changsha, Hunan, to the Chinese Football Association, but fell short in their attempt as the request was denied by the Chinese FA by April 2023. The Sichuan Jiuniu board, which includes the CFG, further expressed in a statement that, "if the Chinese FA are unable to fulfill their legal relocation request, then the board do not see a sustainable future in investing in Chinese football, and may pull out of the Chinese professional football league system, putting aside all previous investments and hard work."

On 18 October 2023, in their fourth consecutive season in China League One, following a 4–0 home win over Wuxi Wugo, Sichuan Jiuniu secured promotion to the Chinese Super League for the first time in the club's history. A week later on 22 October, Sichuan Jiuniu won the China League One title after second-placed Qingdao West Coast drew their match against Shijiazhuang Gongfu.

On 24 January 2024, the Chinese Football Association confirmed the club's relocation to Shenzhen, Guangdong. The club completed its rebrand to Shenzhen Peng City ahead of their debut Chinese Super League campaign.

Stadiums

In Sichuan Jiuniu's existence, the club have used a multiple of stadiums in their climb up the divisions. The grounds they used between 2017 and 2022 were the South Lake Sports Center and the Chengdu Longquanyi Football Stadium, and in the 2023 season, Sichuan Jiuniu played its home matches at the Shuangliu Sports Centre, the Chengdong Sports Park Stadium, and the Suining Sports Center. In 2024, in the club's first season after its relocation to Shenzhen, they played its home matches at the Bao'an Stadium. Starting from the 2025 season, Shenzhen Peng City moved its home ground to the Shenzhen Sports Center Stadium. They also played two home matches at the Zhaoqing New District Sports Center Stadium in 2025.
