History

The original HKFC Stadium on Sports Road was the venue for the world-famous Hong Kong Sevens from its inception in 1976 until it outgrew its home and was moved to the Hong Kong Government Stadium (now the Hong Kong Stadium) in 1982. The original stadium was built in 1954 and demolished in 1995 and was located northeast, adjacent to the racecourse.^[2][3]

The stadium's home attendance record is 1,720, reached during the HKFC's defeat against Kitchee on 26 February 2023.^[4]
