## History[edit]

The club was established as Wuhan Shangwen (Simplified Chinese: 武汉尚文) in 2013 by the Wuhan Football Association and private investment from the Wuhan Benhui Group, to mainly focus on the development of youth players.[1] In 2018, the club started to participate in Wuhan Super League, and finished second right behind Wuhan Chufeng Heli. They also participated in 2018 Chinese Champions League, and making it to the final round of 16 before being eliminated by Nanjing Shaye. Ranking 11th, the club were later admitted into 2019 China League Two to fill the gap left by withdrawn team, right after changing their name to Wuhan Three Towns F.C. in January 2019.[2]

Albert Garcia Xicota would be appointed Head coach of the club for the 2019 China League Two season and finished eleventh at the end of the season. The following campaign with the club he would go on to guide them in winning the division title and promotion into the second tier.[3] In July 2021, Pedro Morilla was appointed as caretaker manager of the club, he had previously worked as techniques director.[4] In December 2021, he was promoted to manager for winning 14 matches in a row.[5] This achievement would see Wuhan going on to win the 2021 China League One division and promotion to the top tier.[6]

On 31 December 2022, Wuhan Three Towns won the Chinese Super League for the first time after several fixtures were cancelled due to a national COVID-19 outbreak. They were awarded a 3–0 win against Tianjin Teda F.C., who had forfeited due to sick players, and had a better goal difference than Shandong Taishan to top the table.[7]
