Football (soccer) is a popular sport in Chengdu . Chengdu Tiancheng F.C. played in the second tier of Chinese professional football, commonly known as China League One , and hosted matches at the Chengdu Sports Center Stadium . The club was founded in 1996 and was originally known as Chengdu Wuniu (Five Bulls), named after its first sponsor, the Five Bulls Cigarette Company. The team was involved in a match-fixing scandal in 2009 while competing in the Chinese Super League . As punishment, the club was relegated to the second tier, and ownership changes followed. The club later struggled financially and was dissolved in 2015.
