Reasons To Adopt
Shanghai Shenhua work as a second team because they come with their own geography: China, Shanghai Stadium, and a set of rivalries you will absorb faster than you expect.
Loaded cabinet
9 distinct honours on record, including Chinese Jia-A League. Adopt them and you inherit expectation, which is more fun than it sounds when the trophies keep coming.
Cathedral football
Shanghai Stadium holds around 72,436. Even a routine league game arrives with a noise floor most clubs only reach in a semi-final.
You get a nickname
Known as Tricolor The Flower of Shanghai (申花) The Blue Devils (蓝魔). That is your new shorthand, your search term and your excuse for buying a scarf.
