Shenyang Zhongze F.C. () was a former professional Chinese football club that participated in the Chinese League One division.
History The club was founded in August 2009 as Tianjin Runyulong and was initially set-up as an amateur football team to take part in the amateur leagues. At the beginning of the 2011 league season, Tianjin Runyulong would decide to take over Anhui Jiufang and took their position in the China League One division. The club would make Liu Zhicai their first professional manager and play in the 18,000-seat Minyuan Stadium in Tianjin while wearing an all red strip within their debut season. The club would quickly find out that the full acquisition of Anhui Jiufang as well as the running cost of the club would cost them 540 million yuan, more than the club expected and that they would need to quickly find investment if they were to pay their players on time. The investment would come from the local Shenbei government who wanted them to move into the 30,000-seat Tiexi Stadium in Shenyang. In July 2011, Tianjin Runyulong moved to the city of Shenyang and the name changed to Shenyang Shenbei.润宇隆已更名沈阳沈北 队员沈阳报到开始新生活
