**Sun Hei Sports Club** ([Chinese](/source/Traditional_Chinese_characters): 晨曦體育會) is a Hong Kong professional [football](/source/Association_football) club which currently competes in the [Hong Kong Third Division League](/source/Hong_Kong_Third_Division_League). The club has a long history in playing in the top flight, but decided to self-relegate in the 2013–14 season after declining to participate in the newly established [Hong Kong Premier League](/source/Hong_Kong_Premier_League).

## History

**Sun Hei** entered the [Hong Kong First Division](/source/Hong_Kong_First_Division_League) under the name **Golden** ([Chinese](/source/Traditional_Chinese_characters): 好易通) in the 1994–95 season. In 1996, Golden under the name **Golden XI** played against [England](/source/England_national_football_team). England was in Hong Kong preparing for the [UEFA Euro 1996](/source/UEFA_Euro_1996) later in the summer. It was in Hong Kong that [Paul Gascoigne](/source/Paul_Gascoigne)'s famous dentist chair incident took place.

After securing the sponsorship of [Xiangxue Pharmaceutical](/source/Xiangxue_Pharmaceutical), the club competed in the league under the team name **Xiangxue Sun Hei** ([Chinese](/source/Traditional_Chinese_characters): 香雪晨曦) from 2005 to 2007.

In the season 2004–05, Sun Hei achieved [The Quadruple](/source/The_Quadruple), winning all four senior football competitions, including the [Hong Kong First Division League](/source/Hong_Kong_First_Division_League), the [Senior Shield](/source/Hong_Kong_Senior_Shield), the [League Cup](/source/Hong_Kong_League_Cup) and the [FA Cup](/source/Hong_Kong_FA_Cup). In the [2005 AFC Cup](/source/AFC_Cup_2005), Sun Hei also got through to the semi-finals stage, the best result for a Hong Kong football club in the competition to date.

In season 2007–08, Sun Hei changed the club name to **Convoy Sun Hei** ([Chinese](/source/Traditional_Chinese_characters): 康宏晨曦) as the club obtained sponsorship from [Convoy Financial Services](/source/Convoy_Financial_Services), a Hong Kong [financial service](/source/Financial_service) company.

[Roberto Júnior](/source/Roberto_J%C3%BAnior) played 116 games for Sun Hei SC

In the 2009–10 and 2010–11 seasons, Sun Hei used [Tsing Yi Sports Ground](/source/Tsing_Yi_Sports_Ground) as their home ground.

In season 2011–12, the team changed its name to **Sunray Cave JC Sun Hei** due to sponsorship from Sunray Cave and JC Group, a company owned by [Jackie Chan](/source/Jackie_Chan).[1] The team used [Mong Kok Stadium](/source/Mong_Kok_Stadium) as its home ground for this season, but moved back to [Tsing Yi Sports Ground](/source/Tsing_Yi_Sports_Ground) for the 2013–14 season. As Sun Hei refused to take part in the NOW TV broadcast agreement, it did not have its home games shown live on [Now TV](/source/Now_TV_(China)), its personnel was not to be interviewed, it did not share any potential TV income and its sponsors' names were not mentioned on Now TV broadcasts.[2]

In the [2009–10 season](/source/2009%E2%80%9310_Hong_Kong_First_Division_League), Sun Hei starts using Tsing Yi as their home ground. The first home match against a local strong team, [Kitchee](/source/Kitchee_SC), has attracted around 1,200 fans. It is the highest percentage home attendance in this season.

In the 2013–14 season, Sun Hei decided to self-relegate at the end of the season after declining to participate in the newly established Hong Kong Premier League.

During the [2016–17 season](/source/2016%E2%80%9317_Hong_Kong_First_Division_League), Sun Hei captured their first league title in over ten years winning the title by one point over [Wong Tai Sin](/source/Wong_Tai_Sin_DRSC). However, they declined promotion to the [Hong Kong Premier League](/source/Hong_Kong_Premier_League) at the end of the season due to financial difficulties.[3]

A year after winning the First Division, Sun Hei were relegated following a 13th-place finish in the [2017–18 season](/source/2017%E2%80%9318_Hong_Kong_First_Division_League).[4]

The club finished at the bottom of the table in the [2018–19 season](/source/2018%E2%80%9319_Hong_Kong_Second_Division_League) and were relegated to the [Hong Kong Third Division](/source/Hong_Kong_Third_Division_League).[5]

In the [2022–23](/source/2022-23_Hong_Kong_Third_Division_League) season, they got promoted back to the [Hong Kong Second Division](/source/Hong_Kong_Second_Division_League) after finishing second.
