The modern FCFC traces its spiritual roots to an underground “cuju” (ancient football) team formed in 1904 by rebel eunuchs in the Imperial Palace. Cruelly persecuted by the Qing authorities and other eunuch groups for their “heavenly play with balls”, the team was disbanded on the founding of the Republic in 1919.
