History

edit

Wuhan Chufeng Heli F.C. was founded on 8 July 2016 combined by amateur club Wuhan New Era and unpunished players from Wuhan Hongxing after the Wuhan Hongxing–Jiangsu Suning brawl.[1] They played in the 2016 China Amateur Football League and won the winners of 2016 Wuhan City Super League and the first place of northwest region final–group B successively.[2] Wuhan Chufeng Heli finished third place in the national finals and won the qualification for promoting to 2017 China League Two,[3] but then gave up to turn professional and remained at the amateur league. Two years later, they finally promoted to China League Two after finishing in third place again in 2018 Chinese Champions League, after changing their name to Hubei Chufeng United F.C. before the season.

In January 2021, Hubei Chufeng United changed their name to Hubei Istar F.C.[4]
