History

edit

On 5 May 1998 the club was established as a local amateur football team who took part in the regional Baotou leagues.[1] They gradually worked their way up through the regional leagues until they were able to enter 2012 China Amateur Football League where they finished seventh.[2] The local Baotou Municipal Sports Bureau would become interested supporting the team.[3] By the 2014 league season they would financially invest into the team to take part in the 2014 Chinese FA Cup where they were knocked out in the first official round to Guizhou Zhicheng F.C. in a 3–1 home defeat. They continued to support the team and helped Baotou Nanjiao F.C. to officially establish themselves as a professional unit on 25 January 2015 to allow them to take part in the 2015 China League Two season.[4] Baotou Nanjiao F.C. changed their name to Inner Mongolia Caoshangfei F.C. in January 2019.[5]
