Tsuen Wan (football club)

Tsuen Wan is a football team which is now an associate member of HKFA which does not participate in any division of the existing league. It is different from the Tsuen Wan team which participates in the Hong Kong Third 'District' Division League.

The team entered the formed Third Division League in 1969–70. In the next season, the team was promoted to Second Division and captured the title immediately.

However, it stayed in the bottom half of the league in the following 3 seasons (8th in 1980–1981, 6th in 1981–1982, 9th in 1982–1983). In 1983, Tsuen Wan rejected HKFA's retain offer and relegated to Second Division League.
