History

edit

The club was created as a result of a collaboration between three local amateur football clubs in Hangzhou: Hangzhou Ange, Hangzhou Qimeng and Hangzhou T60 in 2017, its name derived from the historical kingdom of Wuyue that Hangzhou was once the capital of, as well as the historical name of the city, Qiantang.

In 2018, the team qualified for the play-off stage of 2018 Chinese Champions League. After beating Shenzhen Xinqiao and Shanxi Metropolis in the play-offs, the club advanced to the semi-finals, securing a spot in the final four of the highest level of Chinese amateur football, and gaining promotion to China League Two. Although their promotion was denied at first, they were finally granted a last-minute admission into 2019 China League Two after the dissolution of Yanbian Funde in China League One and the subsequent promotion of Shaanxi Chang'an Athletic, securing its final spot.
