Hong Kong FA Cup (
The Hong Kong Football Association. The first edition of the competition was held in 1975, before then the cup was known as the Golden Jubilee Cup. The current season is the 45th edition of the event. 14 different teams have won the cup with 10-time champions South China
being the most successful.
In the first three years, the semi-finals and the finals were two-legged events. If the aggregate result was drawn, there would be
penalty shootouts
.
Moreover, teams from the First Division, Second Division and Third Division were allowed to enter the competition before through qualifying from the preliminary round. However, due to the huge difference in playing level between the Premier League and the lower levels below it, the cup has been limited to top-flight teams since the 2016–17 season.[1] The teams in the lower divisions are now competing in the FA Cup Junior Division.
The current FA Cup holders are Kitchee.
