Summary

Pre-season

On 10 December 2024, Guoan announced that head coach Ricardo Soares has left the club. [1] On the same day, the club appointed Quique Setién as head coach for the 2025 season. [2]

The team began a two-week pre-season training in Kunming starting on 15 December with players out on loan returning to participate as well. [3] Newly appointed head coach Setién was not present during this phase with training instead being led by assistant coach and former Spanish beach soccer legend Ramiro Amarelle. [4]

On 21 December 2024, Guoan suffered a temporary transfer ban from FIFA that prohibited incoming player transfers pending the result of certain financial disputes. [5] The ban was removed on 30 December 2024 following the resolution of the financial dispute, and Guoan was free to continue player transfer activities. [6]

On 27 December 2024, Guoan played a training match in Kunming against Shandong Taishan's U-18 team. As the opponent is much younger, Guoan played with a 10-man team. Guoan won 4–0 with two goals from Yan Yu and one each from Wang Ziming and Fang Hao. [7] The training camp officially concluded on 28 December 2024 with the next phase of pre-season preparation scheduled to begin on 5 January under Setién in Haikou. [8]

News reports on 31 December 2024 confirmed that the club had signed a 2-year contract extension with Zhang Xizhe and 1-year extensions with Wang Gang and Chi Zhongguo respectively. Bai Yang, Nebijan Muhmet, and Cao Yongjing's contracts were also extended by the club. [9] It was also reported that Samuel Adegbenro, Mamadou Traoré, and Zhang Chengdong's contracts would not be extended and the players have left the club. [10] [11] Club also announced the retirement of long-time captain Yu Dabao and his subsequent transition to youth coaching roles within the club. [12]
