## China League One
### Review

Dalian Yifang signed Spanish manager Juan Ramón López Caro before the season. The team will aim to gain promotion back to the Super League.
Juan Caro brought an effective strategy based on high pressing, long pass and quick counterattack, while the team significantly improved defence tactics by signing Jonathan Ferrari and Zhou Ting. Dalian Yifang achieved four consecutive winnings at the beginning of the season, and won 8 matches out of the first 10. By May, they were the team with the best defense, with only 5 goals conceded.
After beating Shenzhen F.C. on 7 May, Dalian Yifang went top for the first time within 708 days, since they led the league at the beginning of 2015 season. During the match, Shenzhen F.C. player Wang Dalong committed a rude foul to Nyasha Mushekwi, causing considerable damage to his right leg. After a 4–0 victory against Yunnan Lijiang F.C. on 18 June, Yifang ensured its position as the Summer Champion, with two matches yet to compete.
During the match with Xinjiang Tianshan Leopard, Mushekwi scored the 100th goal since the team was occupied by Dalian Yifang. The gap between them and Beijing Renhe came to 9 points after the match, but was reduced to 2 points after losing the second-leg match with Beijing Renhe, and their record of remain undefeated for 18 matches in a row was also terminated.
Yannick Boli scored the first hat trick in squad this season against Shanghai Shenxin on 23 September.
After winning the derby against Dalian Transcendence on 15 October, Yifang ensured a promotion back to the Chinese top-tier league, after competing 3 seasons (1078 days approximately) in China League One. Congratulatory messages were sent by both Dalian municipal government and Sun Xishaung, owner of the team. On 21 October, as Beijing Renhe was beaten by Hohhot Zhongyou, Dalian Yifang was led to the league title.
Dalian Yifang U17 Team claimed the title of 2017 China League One elite reserve team league on 21 November(Chinese: 2017中甲俱乐部精英梯队联赛).
