The Hong Kong First Division League () is a Hong Kong semi-professional league for men's football clubs starting from the 2014/2015 Season. It was the top-tier division football league in Hong Kong before 2014 and became the second level afterwards. Established in 1908, it is the oldest in Asia. It does not affiliate to any football leagues in the rest of People's Republic of China. Since 1908, a total of 28 clubs have been crowned champions of the Hong Kong football system. South China are the most successful club, having won 41 times since their first participation in 1941. They are also the current champions. ==Competition format== * Each team plays the other teams twice, one home and one away game. The ticket profits go to the home team. If there are two matches in the same stadium on the day, the profits are shared between the two home teams. * Since most of the teams do not have a home ground, the games are mostly played in Hong Kong Stadium or Mongkok Stadium. It happens that one team plays their home games in both stadiums in the same season. * The bottom two teams are relegated to the Hong Kong Second Division League. * Each season, HKFA decides the maximum number of foreign and mainland Chinese players each club can have and how many can play in each game. This season, a maximum of 7 foreign players (mainland Chinese players included) can be registered for a team, where no more than 5 of them could be played simultaneously on the pitch, with 1 more can be placed as substitutes. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hong Kong First Division League」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
