Eastern District Sports Association (), also known as Eastern District Football Club () or just Eastern District, is a Hong Kong professional football club which currently competes in the Hong Kong Premier League, the top tier of Hong Kong football.
The team play their home matches at Siu Sai Wan Sports Ground.
History
In the 2002–03 season, the Hong Kong Football Association reformed the Hong Kong Second Division League and the Hong Kong Third Division League. The association suggested that different district councils form a football team based in their districts. The Eastern District Council therefore formed a football team, while the team started competing in the Hong Kong Third District Division.
In the 2008–09 season, Eastern District placed 13th out of 15 teams in the Hong Kong Third District Division. It had only won 4 matches and lost 10 matches in the league.
In the 2009–10 season, Eastern District appointed ex-Hong Kong national football team goalkeeper Goldbert Chi Chiu as their goalkeeper trainer. Despite that, their league result was worse than the previous season. It placed 13th out of 14 teams, having only won 1 match, drawn 1 match, and lost 11 matches.
Eastern District was promoted into the First Division after finishing 2nd in the 2015–16 Hong Kong Second Division.
On 4 July 2025, it was announced that Eastern District had been accepted into the Hong Kong Premier League for the 2025–26 season.
