We just moved into this new stadium this year

So is this your old Stadium?

And this is the new one?

Could you please explain a bit of the history of the past few years. Who funded the growth of the team, the Stadiums, etc?

In 2023, the team went bankrupt and underwent restructuring, with fans raising funds to start from the fourth-tier league (amateur teams). In the same year, BFG invested and held a 65% stake, helping the team to be promoted to the third-tier league. In 2024, they successfully ascended to the second-tier league. In 2025, they finished ninth in the league and avoided relegation. This year, the team invested over ten million US dollars, invited renowned Dutch coach Henk Fraser to coach them, and aimed to compete in the Chinese Super League (Fraser was recently dismissed due to poor coaching results). BFG has promised to promote the team to the Chinese Super League by 2027.
Our stadium, which has just been invested and built by the government, has been put into use this year. It can accommodate 61,000 people and is the best professional football stadium in China.
Just like the tifo content in the picture, our team is reborn with the support of the 12th man, the fans. It is a membership-based club, where fans own an additional 35% of the shares and can cast a veto on major issues of the club. (Such as team relocation, which is very common in China)
If you have any other questions, feel free to ask

Let's toast to our future friendship. As we all know, the Grasshopper Club is very well-known in China

Thank you very much.

I watched several instagram posts in the last few days, and am very impressed with the level you have reached in such a short time. The fans seem very organised, and I watched a couple of instagram posts with your fans going to away matches, which were very interesting.

Could you just give a few details about the fan culture, and what it's like going to away grounds, and whether there is much conflict with other supporters or the Authorities. It seemed very well behaved and peaceful.

The rebirth of our team depends on its fans, so the fans care deeply about it, and so does the team. We hold symposiums every month to listen to fans' opinions. Just like our team's motto: Make Shaanxi our home, born for the fans.
BFG really values the interaction between the team and fans. The club has set up a live streaming room on Douyin, where staff members stream and sell team merchandise almost every day, answering fans' questions. Team executives also make appearances once a week. Our team merchandise is beautifully designed, and we have the most stylish jerseys in the league. In our live stream, we've even achieved a daily sales record of 2 million yuan.
Thanks to this emotional bond between the club and its fans, almost every away game sees hundreds of fans travel with the team. You know, China has a huge territory, with distances of three or four thousand kilometers, but that doesn't dampen the fans' enthusiasm at all. However, in China, physical clashes between fans are not allowed. The security on the field is very strong, and even fireworks aren't permitted. Any conflicts between fans are limited to verbal arguments.

Founded in 2017, because in China, the dissolution of a team means the end of its history - a new team has to start from scratch and can't inherit its past

Hört mal auf zu streiten. Wir sitzen schliesslich alle im selben Boot. Wir müssen gemeinsam paddeln. Nur so kommt man Vorwärts.

Das alleine nützt nichts. Es muss schon in die gleiche und richtige Richtung sein. Da habe ich die grössten Zweifel.

So the old club existed form 2017 to 2023. then the new team was founded by the fans in 2023 as a phoenix club and Bridge Football Group bought 65% of the shares form the supporters. correct?
