The 1994 Dalian Wanda F.C. season was Dalian's 10th consecutive season in the top division of Chinese football, and the first season to compete as a fully professional team.
The 1994 season was the first season that the Jia-A League had turned professional. [1] [2] Private enterprises were allowed to sponsor or operate a football club. Wang Jianlin, owner of the Wanda Group, acquired the Dalian football club, [3] and reorganized the team as Dalian Wanda Football Club in March 1994. Originally, he planned to establish a team that consist players and managerial staff only from Dalian, but was convinced by Gai Zengjun, former manager of the team. [4] He threw quite some money at the time by appointing Zhang Honggen from Shanghai as the head coach, and set high winning bonuses for the team. [5] Dalian Wanda won the 1994 Chinese Jia-A League without effort.
Since round 5 of the 1994 season, the team set a record of 57 unbeaten home league matches. [6]
