Resources Capital Football Club is a Hong Kong football club which currently competes in the Hong Kong First Division. It was known as Tai Chung Football Club for the first 34 years of its existence before rebranding in 2016. [1]
Tai Chung has competed in the Hong Kong football league system league since 2001. Between 2009 and 2011, Tai Chung once competed in the First Division, the top-flight league in Hong Kong at that time. Since their relegation in 2011, the club has competed in the second-tier amateur league.
In 2016, the club was acquired by Tang Wai Ho, and was renamed as Resources Capital.
Ahead of the 2019–20 season, club ownership increased the budget to $6 million and turned the club into a professional outfit, aiming to gain promotion to the Hong Kong Premier League in the following season.[2] Despite the cancellation of the 2019–20 season due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Hong Kong, Resources Capital were granted promotion to the Hong Kong Premier League by the HKFA board of directors.[3]
On 21 June 2024, the club announced that they would self-relegate into the First Division.[4]
Resources Capital has a small supporters group active at all home and away games. The group was formed at the start of the 2020–21 Hong Kong Premier League season after the club grew in popularity among HKPL supporters. The fan group is known as "The Pink Army". At home games at Tsing Yi Sports Ground, "The Pink Army" was based at Zone H.
