Eastern District Sports Association (Chinese: 東區體育會, also known as Eastern District, Chinese: 東區足球隊) is a semi-professional football club in Hong Kong. The team currently competes in the Hong Kong First Division.
The team play their home matches at Happy Valley Recreation Ground.
History
In the 2002–03 season, the Hong Kong Football Association reformed the Hong Kong Second Division League and the Hong Kong Third Division League. The association suggested different district councils to form a football based in its district. The Eastern District Council therefore formed a football team, while the team started competing in the Hong Kong Third District Division League.
In the 2008–09 season, Eastern District placed 13th out of 15 teams. It had only won 4 matches and lost 10 matches in the league.
In the 2009–10 season, Eastern District appointed ex-Hong Kong National Football Team goalkeeper Goldbert, Chi Chiu as their goalkeeper trainer. Despite that, their league result was worse than the last season. It placed 13th out of 14 teams, only had won 1 match, drawn 1 match, and lost 11 matches.
The team was promoted into the First Division after placing 2nd in the 2015–16 Hong Kong Second Division.
Eastern District heeft in zijn geschiedenis verschillende successen geboekt, waaronder het winnen van de Hong Kong First Division League (de voorganger van de Premier League) in 1953-54, 1955-56, 1956-57 en 1963-64. De club heeft ook de Hong Kong Senior Shield, de Hong Kong FA Cup en de Hong Kong League Cup gewonnen.
Bekende spelers die voor Eastern District hebben gespeeld, zijn onder meer Lo Wai-Hong, Fan Chun Yip, Au Wai-Lun en Lam Ka-Wai. De huidige hoofdtrainer van Eastern District is Chung Chun Ming.
De clubkleuren van Eastern District zijn blauw en wit. Het logo van de club is een gestileerde afbeelding van een voetbal met de Chinese tekens voor "Eastern District" erin.
