History
editFormation
edit
In the late 1920s, a group of Hong Kongers formed a football team in order to compete in theHong Kong Third Division.It was not until 1931, however, that the team was established as Kitchee Sports Club.[1]
Kitchee was founded as a grassroots organization, as such, they lacked the funding to pay the administrative and facilities costs necessary to become a multi sports club. It was not until 1934 when the club were able to raise the money to rent an office at 130 Johnston Road inWan Chai,that they were admitted as members of theHong Kong Football Association.[2]
World War II
editIn 1939, Japanese bombs hit Hong Kong during theSecond Sino-Japanese War.[3]The club's records during this time were destroyed during the bombing.
As thePacific Warbegan, Hong Kong fell to the Japanese on25 December 1941,therefore the club's operations were suspended during the three-year, eight-monthJapanese occupation of Hong Kong.
After the Japanese surrender of Hong Kong in August 1945, former members of Kitchee returned to the club. They resolved to help revitalize theChinese Amateur Athletic Federation of Hong Kongand establish the Chinese Football Association of Hong Kong, the Hong Kong Chinese Football Referees’ Association and the Hong Kong Chinese Footballer's Fraternity.[4]
Post War to 1964
edit
Following the war, Kitchee were admitted into the1947–48 Hong Kong First Division Leaguewhere they won the league title, the club's first major trophy. Between 1947 and 1964, the club won threeHong Kong First Divisiontitles, oneSecond Divisiontitle, fourHong Kong Senior Shield's and oneHong Kong Junior Shield.
During this period, Kitchee discovered Hong Kong football legendsYiu Cheuk YinandLam Sheung Yee.Yiu led the club to its first two First Division titles and later became known as the "Treasure of Hong Kong Football."[5]Lam spent a total 14 years at Kitchee, split between two spells, and was a part of every Kitchee squad which won a trophy between 1948 and 1964.[6]
1964 to 2003
editIn1965–66,Kitchee won only one game while drawing four others in the season, finishing second bottom of the table. The club were relegated after a 17-year spell in the top flight. In the subsequent season, Kitchee slid into the Third Division for the first time in three decades.
In the late 1980s, Law Ding Chun was hired as the new chairman of Kitchee. Law moved quickly to modernize the operations of Kitchee, buying insurance for all of his players in order to provide them with peace of mind in the event of an injury. His changes worked as Kitchee were soon promoted back to the Second Division.
In 1991–92, Kitchee won the Second Division title, returning to the top flight for the first time in 26 years. The squad during this period featured many future Hong Kong internationals includingYau Kin Wai,Chung Ho Yin,Yeung Hei Chi,Yeung Ching Kwong,Dale Tempest,as well as former England internationalMark Barham.Kitchee spent three seasons in the top flight before they were relegated along withKui Tanat the end of the1994–95 season.
During the 1998–99 season, Kitchee won promotion back to the First Division as well as theHong Kong Junior Shield.The following year, the squad were led by a backbone of young local players such asLee Wai Lun,Man Pei TakandNg Wai Chiu.However, these were soon poached by bigger clubs and due to inadequate replacements, the performance of the team suffered and Kitchee were once again relegated at the conclusion of the2000–01 season.
Ahead of the 2002–03 season, formerHong Kong national teammanagerChan Hung Pingwas hired as Kitchee's manager. He led the team to the Second Division title in his one and only season as manager.
A new golden age
editFollowing their return to the First Division in 2003, Kitchee became one of the most prominent teams in Hong Kong, winning three trophies in two seasons under coachDejan Antonic:two in 2005–06 and one in 2006–07 season. The club secured 2nd place in the league, along with league championsSouth Chinawho had already qualified for theAFC Cupas theHong Kong Senior Shieldwinners. As a result, Kitchee became one of two Hong Kong representatives in the2008 AFC Cup.
Since 2009, the club has been a partner of theChinese University of Hong Kongin its Injury Prevention and Performance Enhancement (IPPE) program.[7]
Kitchee were invited to take part in the2010 Singapore Cup,[8]becoming the first Hong Kong team to take part in the tournament. The club lost toEtoile FC4–6 over two legs in the quarter final.
In the2010–11 season,under coachJosep Gombau,Kitchee won its first league title in 47 years by one point over arch rival South China,[9]allowing the club to compete in both the2011 Barclays Asia Trophy,where they lost 0–4 toChelseaand 0–3 toBlackburn Rovers,and in the2012 AFC Cup.[10]
Between 2011 and 2014, Kitchee players combined to win theFootballer of the Yearaward for four straight years. The recipients of this award wereRoberto Losadain 2011,Lo Kwan Yeein 2012,Huang Yangin 2013 andFernando Recioin 2014.
In 2012, Kitchee Foundation submitted a successful proposal to The Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust for a youth football training centre. The club received over HK$44 million from the trust for the establishment of a training ground atShek Mun,Shatin,New Territories.The Jockey Club Kitchee Centre, as it was later called, opened in 2014. The trust provided 90% of the funding, with the rest coming in part from the proceeds of a Kitchee vsArsenalexhibition match where they drew 2–2.[11]Apart from serving as the training ground of Kitchee first team and Kitchee Academy, the centre also provides facilities for theEducation Bureau-approved Professional Footballer Preparatory Programme, which Kitchee jointly offers with Yan Chai Hospital Tung Chi Ying Memorial Secondary School, in order to integrate football training into regular school curriculum and schedule.
In October 2012, Arsenal donated HK$780,000 to Kitchee Foundation in support of the youth training centre.[12] The club won the2013–14 First Divisiontitle. The following season, Kitchee won the inauguralHong Kong Premier League,the2014–15 HKFA Cupand the2014–15 League Cup,completing the treble for the second time.[13]
