2017 Dalian Transcendence F.C. season

The 2017 Dalian Transcendence F.C. season is the 4th season in club history.

Background
After struggling in the relegation zone last season, many valuable players decided to leave. Goal keeper Guo Wei announced on his social media that the team defaulted his salary, and he gained a chance to end his contract through a CFA arbitration. They renewed their contract with their caretaker, Rusmir Cviko.

Jaílton Paraíba, the best scorer last season, had been absent since May. It was believed that he flew to the United States to take care of his wife, who recently gave birth to a child. However, Paraíba released a video clip later, accusing the team for providing poor accommodation, as well as defaulting his salary for more than 3 months, that he will seek to end the contract.

On 10 August, it's been reported that Rusmir resigned due to family concern, and the team decided to promote their reserve team manager, Li Guoxu.

Dalian Transcendence struggled throughout the 2017 season to prevent from relegation. The position was fixed until the last round, as Transcendence shared same points with Baoding Yingli ETS, but won a head-to-head match.
