The team is based in Guangzhou, Guangdong and their home stadium is the Yuexiushan Stadium that has a seating capacity of 18,000. Their current owners are the Chinese property developers Guangzhou R&F who took charge in June 2011, while The club's name R&F is short for "Rich" (富) and "Force" (力). The club was originally founded in 1986, in Shenyang and was once named Shenyang Ginde FC () where they played in the 55,000-seater Shenyang Wuilihe Stadium (五里河体育场), until they moved to Changsha in 2007 to reside in the Helong Stadium.

The team would start at the bottom of the league system by playing in the second division; however, they would not have to wait long for promotion to the 1988 Chinese Jia-A League, thanks mostly to the league going through an expansion season and Liaoning FC ineligible to field their reserve team in the same division. The club's time in the top-tier would not last very long and they would immediately get relegated after only one season.〔(China League History ) at rsssf.com. 22 Oct 2009.

By the 1994 league season the entire Chinese football league system had become professional, the team were allowed to gather sponsorship and rename themselves Shenyang Liuyao (沈阳东北六药), while the club were allowed to join the top tier due to their 1992 membership.〔(China League 1994 ) at rsssf.com. 19 Jun 2003.

Once again the club would win promotion to the top tier; however, unlike before they were able to avoid relegation. This was to be the beginning of the club's establishment within the league, though the team benefitted from several seasons where there was no relegation while the league expanded. In 2001 the club would be taken over by Ginde Plastic Pipe Industry Group, a subsidiary of the Hongyuan Group and the club would change its name to Shenyang Ginde (沈阳金德). In 2007 the club's homeground Shenyang Wuilihe Stadium (五里河体育场) was demolished and while it was expected that the club move to another stadium within Shenyang, especially the Shenyang Olympic Sports Center Stadium, a deal did not go through and the club would move to Changsha in Hunan and changed their name to Changsha Ginde (长沙金德). After Changsha Ginde were relegated to League One at the end of the 2010 league season the club would be purchased by MAZAMBA and moved into the Shenzhen Stadium in the city of Shenzhen, Guangdong in February 2011. To represent this change the owners would change the club's name to Shenzhen Phoenix as well as changing the home kit from sky blue to green.〔(长沙金德将更名落户深圳 将加紧确定主帅内外援 ) at sports.sohu.com. 2011-02-27.
