History and achievements
Henan Jianye F.C. is a Chinese football club located in Zhengzhou, the province of Henan. The team is nicknamed Red manhole with reference to its home colours.
Henan’s predecessor, Henan Provincial team, was created in 1958 under the aegis of the local government. The club predominantly played in the second division. In 1981 things went from bad to worse as Henan was relegated to the third tier. However, the club made a quick return to the second division as the side was crowned China League Two champions in 1982. Four years later Henan eventually won a ticket to the elite division, though the return was not a long stay as the club dropped down a division again in 1988.
On August 27, 1994 the team turned professional and adopted its current name. In the 1994 campaign Henan Jianye found life in the second division increasingly tough and the club slipped again into the third tier. The following year Henan came back to the China League One. For the next few seasons the team narrowly avoided relegation. It came as a welcome surprise when in 2006 Henan earned promotion to the Chinese Super League as Chinese Jia League champions. In its first season in the elite division the club managed to climb out of the drop zone and finish 12th. In 2009 Henan Jianye achieved its highest league placing to date as the club finished 3rd in the Super League.
After the season 2012 the club was relegated to China League One but won the league in the following season and returned to the top tier.
Zhengzhou Hanghai Stadium with a seating capacity of 30 000 is the club’s home ground.
