History

=Formation=

File:Former Kitchee HQ.jpg

In the late 1920s, a group of Hong Kongers formed a football team in order to compete in the Hong Kong Third Division. It was not until 1931, however, that the team was established as Kitchee Sports Club.{{cite book|last1=Chow|first1=Ka Kin|title=濁世消磨──日治時期香港人的休閒生活|date=28 August 2015|publisher=Chung Hwa Book Co.(HK) Ltd.|isbn=9789888340507|page=11}}

Kitchee was founded as a grassroots organization, as such, they lacked the funding to pay the administrative and facilities costs necessary to become a multi sports club.

It was not until 1934 when the club were able to raise the money to rent an office at 130 Johnston Road in Wan Chai, that they were admitted as members of the Hong Kong Football Association.{{cite web|title=傑志歷史|url=http://kitchee.com/history.php|website=Kitchee Football Team|access-date=6 August 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181123213036/http://www.kitchee.com/history.php|archive-date=23 November 2018|url-status=dead}} {{in lang|zh-hk}}

=World War II=

In 1939, Japanese bombs hit Hong Kong during the Second Sino-Japanese War.{{cite news|url=http://content.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,760828,00.html|title=War in China|magazine=Time|date=6 March 1939|access-date=1 April 2015|archive-date=27 January 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210127011309/http://content.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,760828,00.html|url-status=live}} The club's records during this time were destroyed during the bombing.

As the Pacific War began, Hong Kong fell to the Japanese on 25 December 1941, therefore the club's operations were suspended during the three-year, eight-month Japanese occupation of Hong Kong.

After the Japanese surrender of Hong Kong in August 1945, former members of Kitchee returned to the club. They resolved to help revitalize the Chinese Amateur Athletic Federation of Hong Kong and establish the Chinese Football Association of Hong Kong, the Hong Kong Chinese Football Referees’ Association and the Hong Kong Chinese Footballer's Fraternity.{{cite web|title=傑志歷史|url=http://kitchee.com/history.php|website=Kitchee Football Team|access-date=6 August 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181123213036/http://www.kitchee.com/history.php|archive-date=23 November 2018|url-status=dead}} {{in lang|zh-hk}}

=Post War to 1964=

File:Kitchee 1959.jpg

Following the war, Kitchee were admitted into the 1947–48 Hong Kong First Division League where they won the league title, the club's first major trophy. Between 1947 and 1964, the club won three Hong Kong First Division titles, one Second Division title, four Hong Kong Senior Shield's and one Hong Kong Junior Shield.

During this period, Kitchee discovered Hong Kong football legends Yiu Cheuk Yin and Lam Sheung Yee. Yiu led the club to its first two First Division titles and later became known as the "Treasure of Hong Kong Football."{{cite web|title='Treasure of Hong Kong Football' Yiu dies|url=http://www.scmp.com/article/625392/treasure-hong-kong-football-yiu-dies|website=South China Morning Post|access-date=6 August 2017|archive-date=7 August 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170807021451/http://www.scmp.com/article/625392/treasure-hong-kong-football-yiu-dies|url-status=live}} Lam spent a total 14 years at Kitchee, split between two spells, and was a part of every Kitchee squad which won a trophy between 1948 and 1964.{{cite web|last1=Lo|first1=Clifford|last2=Chow|first2=Vivienne|title=City mourns Spencer Lam, the soccer hero turned commentator famous for his dry wit|url=http://www.scmp.com/article/677915/city-mourns-spencer-lam-soccer-hero-turned-commentator-famous-his-dry-wit|website=South China Morning Post|access-date=24 April 2009|archive-date=23 September 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190923070708/https://www.scmp.com/article/677915/city-mourns-spencer-lam-soccer-hero-turned-commentator-famous-his-dry-wit|url-status=live}}

=1964 to 2003=

In 1965–66, Kitchee won only one game while drawing four others in the season, finishing second bottom of the table. The club were relegated after a 17-year spell in the top flight. In the subsequent season, Kitchee slid into the Third Division for the first time in three decades.

In the late 1980s, Law Ding Chun was hired as the new chairman of Kitchee. Law moved quickly to modernize the operations of Kitchee, buying insurance for all of his players in order to provide them with peace of mind in the event of an injury. His changes worked as Kitchee were soon promoted back to the Second Division.

In 1991–92, Kitchee won the Second Division title, returning to the top flight for the first time in 26 years. The squad during this period featured many future Hong Kong internationals including Yau Kin Wai, Chung Ho Yin, Yeung Hei Chi, Yeung Ching Kwong, Dale Tempest, as well as former England international Mark Barham. Kitchee spent three seasons in the top flight before they were relegated along with Kui Tan at the end of the 1994–95 season.

During the 1998–99 season, Kitchee won promotion back to the First Division as well as the Hong Kong Junior Shield. The following year, the squad were led by a backbone of young local players such as Lee Wai Lun, Man Pei Tak and Ng Wai Chiu.

However, these were soon poached by bigger clubs and due to inadequate replacements, the performance of the team suffered and Kitchee were once again relegated at the conclusion of the 2000–01 season.

Ahead of the 2002–03 season, former Hong Kong national team manager Chan Hung Ping was hired as Kitchee's manager. He led the team to the Second Division title in his one and only season as manager.

=A new golden age=

Following their return to the First Division in 2003, Kitchee became one of the most prominent teams in Hong Kong, winning three trophies in two seasons under coach Dejan Antonic: two in 2005–06 and one in 2006–07 season.

The club secured 2nd place in the league, along with league champions South China who had already qualified for the AFC Cup as the Hong Kong Senior Shield winners. As a result, Kitchee became one of two Hong Kong representatives in the 2008 AFC Cup.

Since 2009, the club has been a partner of the Chinese University of Hong Kong in its Injury Prevention and Performance Enhancement (IPPE) program.[http://spblab.ort.cuhk.edu.hk/research_soccer.asp Injury prevention and performance enhancement intervention in soccer] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120328123229/http://spblab.ort.cuhk.edu.hk/research_soccer.asp |date=28 March 2012 }} Sports Performance and Biomechanics Laboratory, Department of Orthopaedics and Traumatology, Prince of Wales Hospital, Faculty of Medicine, Chinese University of Hong Kong

Kitchee were invited to take part in the 2010 Singapore Cup,[http://www.rthk.org.hk/rthk/news/esport/news.htm?esport&20100430&56&664698 Kitchee set for Singapore Cup RTHK news 30 April 2010] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304111621/http://www.rthk.org.hk/rthk/news/esport/news.htm?esport&20100430&56&664698 |date=4 March 2016 }} becoming the first Hong Kong team to take part in the tournament. The club lost to Étoile 4–6 over two legs in the quarter-final.

In the 2010–11 season, under coach Josep Gombau, Kitchee won its first league title in 47 years by one point over arch rival South China,{{Cite web |title=企業新聞及活動 - [佳能香港有限公司] |url=https://www.canon.com.hk/tc/corporate/news/newsDetails.do?cneid=10127# |access-date=2024-02-15 |website=www.canon.com.hk}} allowing the club to compete in both the 2011 Barclays Asia Trophy, where they lost 0–4 to Chelsea and 0–3 to Blackburn Rovers, and in the 2012 AFC Cup.{{Cite web |date=2011-07-30 |title=英超亞洲錦標賽布力般流浪3比0挫傑志奪季軍 |url=https://hk.news.yahoo.com/%E8%8B%B1%E8%B6%85%E4%BA%9E%E6%B4%B2%E9%8C%A6%E6%A8%99%E8%B3%BD%E5%B8%83%E5%8A%9B%E8%88%AC%E6%B5%81%E6%B5%AA3%E6%AF%940%E6%8C%AB%E5%82%91%E5%BF%97%E5%A5%AA%E5%AD%A3%E8%BB%8D-122800620.html |access-date=2024-02-15 |website=Yahoo News |language=zh-Hant-HK}}

The recipients of this award were Roberto Losada in 2011, Lo Kwan Yee in 2012, Huang Yang in 2013 and Fernando Recio in 2014.

In 2012, Kitchee Foundation submitted a successful proposal to The Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust for a youth football training centre. The club received over HK$44 million from the trust for the establishment of a training ground at Shek Mun, Shatin, New Territories. The Jockey Club Kitchee Centre, as it was later called, opened in 2014. The trust provided 90% of the funding, with the rest coming in part from the proceeds of a Kitchee vs Arsenal exhibition match where they drew 2–2.{{cite web|url=http://special.hkjc.com/sports/en/news-detail.asp?newsID=1009|title=ARSENAL MATCH TO CELEBRATE ESTABLISHMENT OF JOCKEY CLUB KITCHEE CENTRE|date=5 July 2012|publisher=Hong Kong Jockey Club|access-date=11 January 2013|archive-date=13 March 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140313164119/http://special.hkjc.com/sports/en/news-detail.asp?newsID=1009|url-status=dead}} Apart from serving as the training ground of Kitchee first team and Kitchee Academy, the centre also provides facilities for the Education Bureau-approved Professional Footballer Preparatory Programme, which Kitchee jointly offers with Yan Chai Hospital Tung Chi Ying Memorial Secondary School, in order to integrate football training into regular school curriculum and schedule.

In October 2012, Arsenal donated HK$780,000 to Kitchee Foundation in support of the youth training centre.{{cite web|url=http://www.scmp.com/sport/hong-kong/article/1062616/arsenal-weve-promised-fans-china-rematch|title=Arsenal: 'We've promised fans a China rematch'|date=17 October 2012|author=Chan Kin Wa|publisher=South China Morning Post|access-date=11 January 2013|archive-date=15 July 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180715235807/https://www.scmp.com/sport/hong-kong/article/1062616/arsenal-weve-promised-fans-china-rematch|url-status=live}}

Club culture and supporters

Established in 2011, the Blue Wave is the official fans club organised by Kitchee to offer fans with special perks and offers.

Originally a fans-organised cheering group, the Blue Wave became the club's official fans club in 2011, while retaining the name Blue Wave after the reorganisation.

Since its formation, the Blue Wave has become an identity shared by all Kitchee fans as they come to the stadium every match day, cheering and supporting the players on the field.
