Jiangxi Dingnan United Football Club (simplified Chinese: 定南赣联足球俱乐部; traditional Chinese: 定南贛聯足球俱樂部; pinyin: Dìngnán Gànlián Zúqiú Jùlèbù) is a Chinese professional football club based in Dingnan, Ganzhou, Jiangxi, that competes in China League One, the second tier of Chinese football. Jiangxi Dingnan United plays its home matches at the Dingnan Youth Football Training Center, located within Dingnan County, groundsharing with Ganzhou Ruishi. Having acquired China League Two club Anhui Litian in December 2015, the club moved to Harbin, Heilongjiang, and changed their name to Heilongjiang Lava Spring Football Club. In 2021, the club changed their name to Heilongjiang Ice City Football Club, before moving to Dingnan County, Jiangxi in February 2025 and changing to its current name.

History

The club was established by Heilongjiang Volcanic Springs Green Natural Mineral Water Co., Ltd. on December 31, 2015, and took over Anhui Litian to participate in China League Two.[1] They appointed Zoran Janković as their head coach, and finished tenth at the end of the 2016 league season. Upon the next season, Duan Xin became the Head coach of the team on December 1, 2016, and he was able to guide the club into not only the play-offs but also surprised the entire league by winning the 2017 China League Two championship, and gaining promotion to China League One for the first time in the team's history.[2]
