Club Overview
Welcome to the Shanghai Lions FC, the best amateur football club in Shanghai!
The Shanghai Lions FC has been created in 1996 and is one of the oldest amateur football clubs in Shanghai. As such, it has a long history of success and excellence. In recent years, our focus has been to build a “Club Structure” comparable to what exists in Europe. In other words, the full spectrum of players from the younger ages to the oldest.
What's better in terms of club identity than having a kid climbing the ladder of his childhood club to finally being able to play with the "big boys"? Believe us or not, not a single football club has it and this is the reason why we're the best amateur Football Club in Shanghai!
Having implemented this multi-layer structure, the Shanghai Lions FC is able to offer a competitive football environment for any category of age.
With this structure in place, we're very proud to have players from 5 yo all the way up to 60 yo being part of the Shanghai Lions FC family. Over the years, many foreigners have left China and fewer new ones are now coming (especially during the Covid-19 time). Therefore, we are more than happy to get local talented players to join us. It makes our club a special place where you can meet and make friends with players from all over the world.
Mini Lions
At the base, we have the Mini Lions. This segment is for boys and/or girls aged between 5 to 9 years old. The aim here is for them to learn the basic skills of football such as ball mastery, shooting, passing, dribbling as well as the first steps into team play. For this segment, the training is supervised by our own Lions' coaches. They will also be able to play in 5 aside league matches on the weekend.
Junior Teams
The 2nd segment is the Junior Teams
- For boys and/or girls aged between 10 to 13 years old. This age group is still under development but it's just a matter of time. For instance, we know that the Mini Lions will end up in this group with time. Same as for the Mini Lions, we will organize training sessions and 7 aside league matches on the weekend.
- For boys and/or girls aged between 14 to 18 years old. This segment dedicated to High School students is already very mature within the club. For this age group, we have more specific training where we focus on the physical aspect of the game. Therefore it also means building sessions without the ball to get more power and strength as well endurance. Matches are also held over the weekend; mainly 11 aside. This age group is very important as the older players will have the chance to play in the first team if selected. This is definitely an invaluable opportunity for them to have a first experience with Senior Football.
Senior Team
The 3rd segment of the club is the Senior Team. Currently, we play 11 aside on Saturday in the Shanghai International Football League (SIFL). Pieces of training are also organized once a week by our own Lions coaches.
This is the historical backbone segment of the club as this team has been playing ever since 1996, winning numerous titles in various Shanghai amateur leagues. Among others, this is also the reason why we'd like to claim ourselves the best amateur football club in Shanghai.
Veteran Team
This is the last segment of the club. Our legends are playing 11 aside on Sunday in the SPL Veteran. To play in this league, you need to be over 35 years old. On the other edge, there is no age limit and some of our legends are still enjoying playing football games close to their 60's.
