The 2015 Dalian Aerbin F.C. season was the sixth season in the club's history, and the first season after relegation from the Chinese Super League.

Background

When they were relegated from the Super League, Aerbin sold many starting players trying to minimize their expenses.^[1]

Aerbin signed Swedish manager Mikael Stahre before the season started.^[2] However, financial issue was still a tough problem for the team. As the performance was below expectation, another back pay was reported to be connected with the team.^[3]

On 8 July, Dalian Yifang Group became the major share holder of the club to gain full control of the team,^[4] before officially changed the team name to Dalian Yifang F.C.(Chinese :大连一方足球俱乐部) by the end of the season.^[5]
