Sham Shui Po began fielding a football team in the Hong Kong football league system in 2002 as part of a Hong Kong Football Association initiative to involve district representative teams.[1] Sham Shui Po were part of a group of 11 districts which participated in the inaugural season of this project.
In the 2011–12 season, the club was promoted to the top-tier Hong Kong First Division for the first time in the club's history after winning the Second Division league title, but was relegated after finishing bottom out of 10 teams.
In the 2023–24 season, Sham Shui Po advanced to the final of the Hong Kong FA Cup for the first time in their club history, but was beaten by Eastern in the final and finished runners up eventually.[3]
On 21 June 2024, the club announced that they would self-relegate into the First Division.[4]
