History

The club was originally founded on 3 July 2003 as Dongguan Nancheng Football Club (Simplified Chinese: 东莞南城足球俱乐部) to participate within the 2003–04 Hong Kong First Division League as a foreign team within the league.[1] They were established by the Dongguan City Sports Bureau who gained sponsorship and investment from real estate developers South City Real Estate Development Company, Guangdong Hongyuan Real Estate Development Company, Guangdong Enterprises Group Co., Ltd., China Everbright, Huang City Development Co., Ltd., Dongguan City Royal Garden residential construction Limited, Carnation New Garden Construction Co., Ltd., The new Bank of Development and Construction Co., Ltd., Dongguan Kuari Footwear Holdings Limited and Dongguan CITIC Group before participating within the league where they finished sixth.[2] The club only spent one season within the Hong Kong league before deciding to switch to the Chinese league system in the 2005 league season where they started within the third tier. In the campaign they topped the group stages and reached the semi-final within the play-off's where they lost 3–2 to Nancheng August 1st in extra time, missing out on promotion.[3] After that disappointment the club pulled out of the league and disbanded their first team, however they still maintained their youth system after the season ended.

Meixian Hakka F.C. was established on 12 December 2012. It is the first professional football club in Meizhou, which known as "Homeland of football" in China.[4] The squad was assembled mainly by former China League Two club Dongguan Nancheng and will take part in the 2013 China League Two. After a stellar 2015 season, Meixian Hakka F.C. changed their name to Meizhou Meixian Hakka F.C. in January 2016. [5]
