History
The club was founded on 5 January 2017. 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.
In February 2019, City Football Group, a subsidiary of Abu Dhabi United Group, purchased 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 had already been delayed because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
On 18 October 2023, 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. On the following matchday on 22 October, Sichuan Jiuniu won the league title after second-place 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.
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. After relocation, Shenzhen Peng City plays its home matches at the Bao'an Stadium.
