The Beijing Royal Fighters (Chinese: 北京紫禁勇士; pinyin: Běijīng Zǐjìn Yǒngshì) are a Chinese professional men's basketball team which is based in Beijing and plays in the Northern Division of the Chinese Basketball Association (CBA). Beijing BG (known in Chinese as Beijing Beikong) is the club's corporate sponsor.
History
The franchise was founded in 2009 in Guangzhou and spent its first five seasons of existence competing in the lower levels of China's basketball league system. The team relocated to Chongqing in 2012. The club entered the CBA in the 2014–15 season as an expansion team and finished at the bottom of the league standings with a record of 4–34.
In September 2015, the club relocated again and was initially renamed Beijing BG, but to avoid confusion with the city's association football team, which is also called Beijing BG, as well as to avoid confusion with the Beijing Ducks when only the geographical names of the clubs are used, a large number of Chinese sports websites refer to the team as the Beikong Fly Dragons.
The Beijing Royal Fighters have a dedicated fan base and play their home games at the Cadillac Arena in Beijing. The team's colors are royal blue, gold, and white, reflecting their regal and powerful presence on the court.
The Beijing Royal Fighters have a history of success in the CBA, with a strong roster of talented players and experienced coaching staff. They are known for their fast-paced and exciting style of play, making them a formidable opponent for any team in the league.
Overall, the Beijing Royal Fighters are a respected and competitive team in the CBA, representing the city of Beijing with pride and passion on the basketball court.
