Beijing Guoan FC is a Chinese professional football club based in Beijing, competing in the Chinese Football Association Super League (CSL). The team, one of the founding members of the professional league, plays its home matches at the iconic Workers' Stadium in the heart of the capital. Founded in 1992, the club's name "Guoan" translates to "National Security," reflecting its original affiliation. Clad in their distinctive green home kit, Beijing Guoan is owned by the Sinobo Group and is currently managed by a head coach tasked with delivering silverware. The club's history is rich, with a fiercely loyal fanbase known as the "Yuheng" creating one of the best atmospheres in Asian football. Their peak came in 2009 when they won their first and only CSL title to date, a moment of immense pride for the capital city. The modern era has seen Guoan as perennial contenders, often finishing in the AFC Champions League places with squads featuring high-profile foreign imports and Chinese internationals. The rivalry with Shanghai Shenhua is one of the most intense in Chinese sport. Beijing Guoan is more than a football club; it is a central pillar of identity and passion for China's capital city.
