Wikipedia - Singapore Xin Hua Sports Club
The Singapore Xin Hua Sports Club is a semi-professional football team that currently competing in the Singapore National Football League Division 2. It was founded in 1911 as a local football organisation in Singapore which was initially set up to promote football amongst the Chinese community in colonial Singapore.
History
In 1911, the Straits Chinese of Singapore formed the Straits Chinese Football Association (SCFA). The various Straits Chinese clubs in Singapore who already had a football team were in the SCFA while all other clubs were encouraged to join. The SCFA would regulate the football matches and be an authority among the football clubs. While the SCFA lacked a playing ground for clubs to play matches, the Fairy Dale Cup was held with eight teams competing.
In 1913, Lim Boon Keng became the president of SCFA.
During Japanese occupation of Singapore in World War II, the SCFA was disbanded. After the war in 1945, the SCFA was revived with an election of the council members and renamed as Singapore Chinese Football Association (Chinese: 星華人足球協進會) (SCFA).
In 1947, Choo Kwai Low founded the Malayan Chinese Football Association (MCFA) with SCFA as a member.
In March 1970, SCFA changed its name to Singapore Chinese Football Club (Chinese: 新加坡華人足球會) (SCFC). It was reported in May that according to Choo, due to MCFA's new general deputy secretary, who happened to be an assistant registrar of Johor's registry of companies, MCFA was warned by the registry of companies for breaking a law for having SCFC, a non Malaysian club, as a member. As a result, SCFC left MCFA.
SCFC was renamed as Singapore Xin Hua Sports Club.
