History

North District began fielding a football team in the Hong Kong football league system in 2003 as part of a Hong Kong Football Association initiative to involve district representative teams.[1] North District were part of a group of 11 districts who participated in the inaugural season of this project.

During the 2008–09 Hong Kong Third Division League season, North District finished second bottom from the table and came close to being relegated from the football league. However, the club were able to finish second the Elimination Playoff and were allowed to remain.

As part of the HKFA's decision to unify the Third Division A League and the Third Division District League, North District were placed in the Hong Kong Fourth Division during the 2012-13 season based on their prior season's results.

On 29 April 2018, North District defeated KCDRSC 4-1 to clinch the Hong Kong Third Division title for the first time.[2]
