Shenzhen Juniors Football Club (simplified Chinese: 深圳青年人足球俱乐部; traditional Chinese: 深圳青年人足球俱樂部; pinyin: Shēnzhèn Qīngniánrén Zúqiú Jùlèbù) is a Chinese professional football club based in Shenzhen, Guangdong, that competes in China League One, the second tier of Chinese football. Shenzhen Juniors plays its home matches at the Longhua Cultural and Sports Center, located within Longhua District.

History

Founded in June 2022, Shenzhen Juniors were the champions of the Shenzhen Super League in the same year,[1] to book a place in the 2023 CMCL.[2]

Led by Zhang Jun, Shenzhen Juniors were victorious in all five matches in the group stage and were qualified for the 2023 CMCL final round,[3] where they were drawn into group A.[4] On 14 October 2023, after defeating Xi'an Chongde Ronghai 1–0 on the last matchday to top their group unbeaten, Shenzhen Juniors secured promotion to China League Two,[5] the Chinese third-tier. As winners of the group, they were placed into a two-legged tie against the group B winners to decide the champions of the 2023 CMCL. In the two-legged final, Shenzhen Juniors drew 1–1 on both occasions, but lost out on penalties to Langfang Glory City to settle for second place.[6]
