Suzhou Dongwu Football Club (Chinese: 苏州东吴足球俱乐部) is a Chinese professional football club based in Suzhou, Jiangsu, that competes in China League One, the second tier of Chinese football. Suzhou Dongwu primarily plays its home matches at the Suzhou Olympic Sports Center Stadium, located within Suzhou Industrial Park.
History
The club was established on 29 May 2008 as an amateur club named Suzhou Jinfu F.C. (Simplified Chinese: 苏州锦富). They are among the most successful amateur football clubs in the country, which have won China Amateur Football League in 2012 and, after changing their name to Suzhou Dongwu, again in 2015–––the latter of which would earn them promotion to 2016 China League Two. At the beginning of the 2018 league season the club would change the team's crest and colours from yellow to red with black stripes.
In the 2019 China League Two season the club finished fourth and despite this not being enough to gain promotion, China League One side Sichuan Longfor disbanded due to financial problems and Suzhou were promoted to the 2020 China League One.
Le stade du Suzhou Dongwu est le Suzhou Olympic Sports Centre Stadium, qui peut accueillir 45 000 spectateurs. Le club est détenu par la ville de Suzhou et son président est Dai Xiaoling.
Le Suzhou Dongwu a remporté la troisième division chinoise en 2015 et a été promu en deuxième division en 2016. Le club a terminé à la 10e place lors de sa première saison en deuxième division et s'est depuis maintenu à ce niveau.
Les joueurs notables qui ont joué pour le Suzhou Dongwu comprennent le milieu de terrain chinois Li Yuanyi et l'attaquant brésilien Wander Luiz.
