History
The club was founded as Xiamen Lianchuang Century Football Club (Chinese: 厦门联创世纪足球俱乐部) on 18 August 2011.[1] It was founded by three local entrepreneurs from Xiamen, two of which were in the international trade industry, who pushed to foster a professional football club in the city as there were none.[2] In their start to life, the team was made up of local school football coaches and physical education teachers.[1] In 2019, the club changed its name to Xiamen 1026 Football Club, as one of the founders' birthday fell on 26 October.[2]
Xiamen 1026 qualified for the Chinese Champions League for the first time in 2023, as the winners of the 2022 Xiamen FA Super League.[1][3] In the club's first ever match in a national competition, Xiamen 1026 were defeated 4–0 to Guangzhou E-Power on 22 May.[4] The club were eventually eliminated at the regional tournament, after losing to Chao Pak Kei and Guangdong Red Treasure. In 2024, Xiamen 1026 set a goal to fight for promotion.[2] After finishing in first place in the Zhangzhou region of the regional tournament, they qualified for the final round for the first time.[5] They qualified for a promotional play-offs spot, but were eliminated by Qianxinan Xufengtang via a penalty shoot-out.[6]
In the 2025 Chinese Champions League, Xiamen 1026 progressed to the final round once more through the regional tournament, and were allocated into the south group of the final round.[7] After a 2–0 win over old rivals Qianxinan Xufengtang on 12 October and remaining undefeated in seven matches, they topped their group and secured promotion to China League Two.[8][9] In the year 2025, the first team trained in Fuzhou, Fujian, instead of their home city of Xiamen, and has had to take a three-hour bus ride and an overnight stay in Xiamen for their home matches.[2] On 26 October, after beating Shanghai Second 5–2 on aggregate in the final, Xiamen 1026 were crowned 2025 Chinese Champions League champions.[10]
