Hong Kong First Division League

The league explained that soldiers in The Army team were frequently redeployed to another country and hence it was very difficult to establish teamwork.

The Hong Kong Football Association approved a request from South China to remain in the first division on 14 June 2006.

Another reason is that other football clubs rely on the large fan base of South China to generate revenues.

South China finished as the Champions with a magnificent result of 20 wins, 2 draws and 0 losses.

With a slightly poorer result (19 wins and 3 draws) compared to the previous year's South China, Seiko still became the Champion of the season.

The only trophy it failed to get was FA Cup, losing to Yuen Long by penalty kicks.

2002–03 Sun Hei became the fourth team to go the whole season without losing a game in the history of the league.

2016–17 Sun Hei were also the first team since the reformation of the First Division as the second tier of Hong Kong football to finish a season undefeated.
