Line 47: ==History== The club was founded on 3 February 1995 in [[Pudong District]], [[Shanghai]] to take part in the recently formed fully professional football league system and they started at the bottom of the football pyramid in the third division, where they named themselves Shanghai Pudong. Playing in all blue in their debut season, they would immediately taste success when they won the division title and promotion to the second tier.<ref>{{cite web\|url=https://www.rsssf.org/tablesc/china95.html \|title=China League Tables 1995 \|publisher=~~rsssf.com~~[[RSSSF]] \|date=19 Jun 2003 \|access-date=23 May 2012}}</ref> The following seasons, however, saw the team languish within the division until they brought in [[Xu Genbao]] to manage the side at the beginning of the 2000 season and would make the club promotion contenders. Under Xu Genbao's leadership, they didn't have to wait long to win promotion when they would go on to win the division title at the end of the season and a chance to play in the top tier.<ref>{{cite web\|url=https://www.rsssf.org/tablesc/china01.html \|title=China League Tables 2001 \|publisher=~~rsssf.com~~[[RSSSF]] \|date=19 Jun 2003 \|access-date=23 May 2012}}</ref> Under the ownership of Shanghai Yungtay Engineering and COSCO Real Estate, the club rebranded themselves with a new blue and white striped football kit. They were big spenders who wanted to achieve immediate success by bringing in established Chinese internationals such as [[Cheng Yaodong]], [[Jiang Jin]] and particularly [[Wu Chengying]] who set a Chinese transfer fee record of 13,000,000 [[Renminbi\|RMB]]. This saw them become genuine title contenders and under their new manager Cheng Yaodong, they would fight for the league title with [[Shanghai Greenland Shenhua F.C.\|Shanghai Greenland Shenhua]] and only come second by a single point at the end of the [[Chinese Jia-A League 2003\|2003 season]].<ref>{{cite web\|url=https://www.rsssf.org/tablesc/china03.html \|title=China League Tables 2003 \|publisher=~~rsssf.com~~[[RSSSF]] \|date=18 April 2004 \|access-date=23 May 2012}}</ref> On 13 June 2012, [[2003–2009 Chinese football match-fixing scandals#Shanghai International vs Tianjin TEDA in 2003\|it was discovered by the police the real reason]] the team lost the 2003 title was because the club's players [[Shen Si]], [[Qi Hong]], [[Jiang Jin]] and [[Li Ming (footballer, born 1975)\|Li Ming]] took a bribe from former [[Tianjin TEDA F.C.\|Tianjin TEDA]] general manager Yang Yifeng to lose their 30 November 2003 game, which saw all offending participants fined and jailed for their crimes.<ref>{{Cite web\|url=http://www.shanghaidaily.com/nsp/Sports/2012/06/14/Matchfixing%2Bled%2Bto%2Bstars%2Bdownfall/ \|title=Match-fixing led to stars' downfall\|publisher=shanghaidaily.com \|date=2012-06-14 \|access-date=2012-06-24}}</ref> The owners could not maintain the level of spending that they had done and the team's results would start to slip. Finding that they could not compete with Shanghai Shenhua and in the 2005 season, they had to face additional competition in [[Shanghai Zobon F.C.\|Shanghai Zobon]], the team decided to move to Xi'an after months of speculation. With the newly branded team known as Shanghai International, they would start to move away from the previous [[Yuanshen Stadium]] in [[Shanghai]] to the [[Shaanxi Province Stadium]] in [[Xi'an]], [[Shaanxi Province]] and rename themselves Xi'an Chanba International by 2006. In 2007, their ownership was transferred to Baorong Investment and it was during this period that the club would start to experiment with a new yellow football kit. This would surprisingly seem to work when the club looked as if they were title contenders once more during the 2008 season, however their title hopes quickly faded and the team eventually finished fifth. The following season, however, would see the team languish near the bottom of the table and Cheng Yaodong decided to resign, which would see former Chinese national football coach [[Zhu Guanghu]] come in and guide the team away from the relegation zone.
