Qingdao Red Lions Football Club [1] is a football club and academy from Qingdao in Shandong province, China. The club has its home base in the Chengyang district of the city.

The first team is coached by Jan Poortvliet, former manager of Southampton FC and 1978 World Cup finalist with the Netherlands as a player. Notable players include David Löfquist,[2] Kwame Quansah and Milan Perić.

Qingdao Red Lions was established in early 2016 by its founding members Bruno Marveggio, Rob van Eck and Piet van der Pol. The club aims to contribute to the development of Chinese football, both on youth level as in competitive league football.
