History

Sham Shui Po began fielding a football team in the Hong Kong football league system in 2002 as part of a Hong Kong Football Association initiative to involve district representative teams.^[1] Sham Shui Po were part of a group of 11 districts which participated in the inaugural season of this project.

In the 2010–11 season, Sham Shui Po achieved promotion to the Hong Kong Second Division.

In the 2011–12 season, the club was promoted to the top-tier Hong Kong First Division for the first time in the club's history after winning the Second Division league title, but was relegated after finishing bottom out of 10 teams.

In July 2022, Sham Shui Po accepted HKFA's invitation to be promoted to the 2022–23 Hong Kong Premier League.^[2]
