Beijing Vikings' history
2003-2004: 2nd Division silver, Vikings Cup debut
After having more than levelled with several of the best amateur teams in Beijing during the Summer Champions League, Beijing Vikings had no intentions of spending more than one season in the highly competitive IFFC 2nd Division in which only a 1st spot would give promotion. After a con-vincing autumn the team spent winter break in 2nd spot. Determined on promotion the Vikings showed no mercy during spring and without loosing a single match the team came very close to claiming first spot though finally trailing a few points behind the otherwise unbeatable Russia Utd. In addition to securing the silver medals, the Beijing Vikings also laid claim to the title as league top scorer personalised by Viking hit-man Nikolaj Hansen with 25 goals.
Beijing Vikings in Summer CL 2003
A few months prior to the 2nd Division silver, Beijing Vikings had their debut in the Vikings Cup (an annual Easter Holiday competition between FE/SE Asian Viking Teams). In Kuala Lumpur first timers Beijing Vikings qualified from the group stage by defeating archrivals Shanghai Vikings and levelling with compatriots from Ho Chi Minh and Jakarta before loosing to home-favourites and later cup-winners Kuala Lumpur Vikings in the semi-final.
Beijing Vikings used the Summer Champions League as a warm-up for the upcoming challenges in the IFFC 2nd Division and came very close to repeating the 2003 triumph. In a closely fought battle the Vikings lost the final 1-2 to Sexy FC.
