Genbao Football Base (Chinese: 上海根宝足球基地) is the training ground of Shanghai Port F.C.
The construction of the base started in 2000, after Xu Genbao quit his managerial position at Dalian Shide in 1999 and determined to devote himself to youth football.
In 2000, the base, while still under construction, saw the first batch of young players aged between 11 and 12 enrolled into the academy.
The base has produced several Chinese international football players including Jiang Zhipeng, Zhang Linpeng, Yan Junling, Bai Jiajun, Wang Shenchao, Cao Yunding, Jiang Shenglong, Zhu Chenjie, Fu Huan, Chen Binbin, Cai Huikang, Xu Haoyang and Wu Lei.
