Being able to trace its origins back in 1941, when the village team of Bogang was established under Japanese occupation, it boasted the record of the oldest Chinese football squad that was active.

To add on that, it was also the team that had won the most championships (5) in the Chinese Champions League, the Chinese fourth tier (including its predecessor National Football Amateur (Class C) League);[1] however, it stopped participating in the fourth tier until the 2019 season, as they won second place and were promoted.

It was reported that the players used football to share secret information, as sports was considered legitimate by the Japanese and such gatherings were allowed.

Football teams were formed from different age groups of residents, from children to the elderly, with the oldest player being over 80 years old.

Due to their outstanding performances, the Chinese Football Association and other relevant parties have asked them to be promoted to the China League Two, but the then owner of the club, Boang Co., Ltd. (an economic entity restructured from the collective property of Bogang Village), declined the request as they considered the investments in playing professionally too large, and defied their original will of "free-for-all" football.

Some members from the youth academy including Lin Jianwei and Chen Bofeng were chosen for the Chinese Junior Football Team.
