Overview

Shide Group is a Chinese conglomerate based in Dalian, Liaoning. The group was founded in 2002 and has been described as operating across development, media, and energy. Public reference material provides limited detail about its corporate structure, financial performance, current ownership, and present-day operating status, so its activities should not be characterized more specifically without additional authoritative sources. Shide Group is also associated with Chinese professional football through its ownership of Dalian Shide, an association football club. During a period of expansion in football, the group additionally owned or controlled clubs including Sichuan First City and Dalian Sidelong. These sporting assets gave the group a visible role in Chinese football and connected its corporate identity with the development of professional clubs in China. The group's documented history is therefore notable both for its diversified business interests and for its involvement in football ownership. Available material does not establish the identity of the founder, the current chief executive, the group's present parent or owner, whether it remains active, or whether it has listed securities. No verified official website is provided in the available references.

History

Shide Group was established in 2002 in Dalian, China. The available reference identifies the organization as a development, media, and energy corporation, but does not provide a detailed account of its incorporation, founding leadership, ownership structure, subsidiaries, or financial history. As a result, the group's early business expansion cannot be reconstructed reliably beyond its broad sector description. A significant part of Shide Group's public profile came from football. The group owned Dalian Shide, an association football club in Dalian. Its involvement reflected the wider role played by Chinese business groups in supporting and controlling professional football organizations. For a period, Shide Group also owned other clubs, including Sichuan First City and Dalian Sidelong. These holdings extended the group's presence beyond its home city and made it a participant in the ownership and organization of professional football in China. The group has also appeared in reporting concerning football transactions and the interest of Chinese business figures in overseas football opportunities. The available references include material titled "What's Behind the Football Deal?" and a report concerning Leeds United's attraction to a Chinese tycoon, but the supplied material does not establish the precise transaction, parties, outcome, or Shide Group's confirmed role in those matters. Those references therefore provide context for the group's football-related visibility rather than sufficient evidence for a separate corporate event. Beyond football, Shide Group has been described in broad terms as active in development, media, and energy. The available encyclopedia material does not identify specific products, projects, energy assets, media outlets, or development properties. It also does not clarify whether the group remains active, was reorganized, or changed ownership. No reliable information in the supplied sources identifies current or former executives, a founder, a listed security, a ticker symbol, or a current official website. Further research using Chinese-language corporate records, historical company filings, and football-club ownership records would be required for a fuller account of the group's later history and current status.
