South China Athletic Association (also known as South China, SCAA, Chinese: 南華體育會) is a professional football team which plays in Hong Kong Stadium. The football team plays in the top-level league of Hong Kong, the Hong Kong Premier League. It is the football club with most honours in Hong Kong having won a record 41 First Division League titles. They have also won a record 31 Senior Shields, a record 10 FA Cups and 3 League Cups.
Nicknamed "Shaolin Temple" and "Caroliners", South China AA has produced many great Hong Kong footballers over the years. In November 2007, the club entered into a charity partnership with Hong Kong Red Cross. The partnership is a pioneer between a sports association and a humanitarian organisation in Hong Kong.
The Chinese Football Team was founded in 1904 by a group of Chinese students in Hong Kong, including Mok Hing (Chinese: 莫慶) and Tong Fuk Cheung (Chinese: 唐福祥, the captain of China national football team in the 1910s). In 1910, the team was renamed as South China Football Club.
