1994 Dalian Wanda F.C. season

The 1994 Dalian Wanda F.C. season was Dalian's 10th consecutive season in the top division of Chinese football, and the first season to compete as a fully professional team.

Overview
The 1994 season was the first season that the Jia-A Legue had turned professional. Private enterprises were allowed to sponsor or operate a football club. Wang Jianlin, owner of the Wanda Group, acquired the Dalian football club, and reorganized the team as Dalian Wanda Football Club in March 1994. Originally, he planned to establish a team that consist players and managerial staff only from Dalian, but was convinced by Gai Zengjun, former manager of the team. He threw quite some money at the time by appointing Zhang Honggen from Shanghai as the head coach, and set high winning bonuses for the team. Dalian Wanda won the 1994 Chinese Jia-A League without effort.

Since round 5 of the 1994 season, the team set a record of 57 unbeaten home league matches.
