Shanghai United F.C (Simplified Chinese: 上海联城足球俱乐部) was a football club that competes in the Chinese Super League. The club played at the Yuanshen Sports Centre Stadium in Shanghai and was owned by Zhu Jun, the owner of China's second-largest online game company The9 since 2005.
In 2004, the team was based in Zhuhai and played in the Chinese Football Association Jia League. When they won promotion to the Super League, their new owners, Shanghai Zhongbang Real Estate Co moved the team from Guangdong province to Shanghai.
In 2005, they were bought by Shanghai Liancheng and renamed Shanghai Liancheng Zobon (上海联城中邦足球俱乐部). However, in April, the team was again renamed to Shanghai United FC.
In 2007, Zhu Jun bought a majority share in the in-city rival Shanghai Shenhua, thus began to merge the two clubs. Shanghai United no longer exists in name and is replaced by Shanghai Shenhua. The new Shenhua team combines players from the two original teams. Due to the merger, there are only 15 teams in the CSL.
