Hong Kong Football Association (HKFA) was established in 1914, and it has 100 years of history. - In 1954, HKFA registered as a “limited company” under the Companies Act and became a member of FIFA and AFC. In 1972, HKFA applied for the allocation of land to build a 4 storeys clubhouse with 19,000 square footage located at 55 Fat Kwong Street, Homantin, Kowloon, Hong Kong. In 2011, HKFA received a funding from the Home Affairs Bureau under “Project Phoenix” to take the lead to advance Hong Kong football.

HKFA’s Mission is to further enhance the Hong Kong Football development and to achieve the highest possible standards of football at all levels.

Located in Tseung Kwan O, funded by The Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust and operated by HKFA, FTC is a large-scale football training centre with a size of approximately 12 hectare.

FTC is the training base for the Hong Kong Representative Team, as well as the development base for coach education and referee development. The modern facility includes three full-size natural grass football pitches, three full-size artificial turf football pitches and a standard-size futsal pitch etc. The artificial turf pitches will now have public sessions and accept bookings from the general public.

Jockey Club HKFA Football Training Centre was located in the land reclamation area. Before installing the meters and the components of the solar PV system, in order to avoid settlement in the long-term due to the weight of the components, we placed a concrete block under them. It could increase the floor loading capacity, as well as prevent flooding.

There are no shades that block the sunlight at this site, therefore the system’s energy efficiency is good.
