instagramAssociation Football (Soccer) has been played at the Club since its origin when a combined form of Rugby and Soccer was the first sport to be played at the Hong Kong Football Club in 1886. The Hong Kong Football Club continues to play an active role in the development of soccer in Hong Kong and works closely with the Hong Kong Football Association (HKFA) and other national and international sporting bodies to promote the game and nurture young talent.

The Club’s Junior Soccer programme is open to the Hong Kong community, members and non-members and more than 1,000 children and young people participate in the programme.
