The Hong Kong Football Association (HKFA) ( _zh. 香港足球總會) is the governing body of football in Hong Kong.

History

Established in 1914, HKFA organizes several football competitions, which are probably the oldest ones in Asia, for all the professionals, amateurs and youngsters in Hong Kong.

In 1954, HKFA joined FIFA, and was also one of twelve founding associations of the Asian Football Confederation. Hong Kong took an important part in the early development of Asian football, and was given the honour of holding the first Asian Cup competition in 1956. In result, Hong Kong came third in the tournament.

HKFA is also responsible for operating the Hong Kong football team (Chinese: 香港足球代表隊), which competes in international football events.

HKFA's president is Timothy Fok SBS JP. The association is currently led by chairman Leung Hung Tak.
