 New name, new future 

Dalian used to be a football city. Now it is gaining its strength back with big investments from Wanda Group, which started its business in Dalian city back in 1988. Wanda Group also gives the football club a new 'neutral' name, as the name 'yifang' was given by it's former investor — not as 'neutral' as Wanda Group want it to be.

The new name will be 大连人职业足球俱乐部 (dà lián rén zhí yè zú qiú jù lè bù), English translation is "Dalian People's Professonal Football Club".

Here is how local people will pronouce the name:  

大连银职业足球俱乐部 (dà lián yín zhí yè zú qiú jù lè bù). 

Please pronouce this way, and rock 'n' roll.

Dalian is now getting very serious about football.
