History
North District began fielding a football team in the Hong Kong football league system in 2002 as part of a Hong Kong Football Association initiative to involve district representative teams.[1] North District were part of a group of 11 districts who participated in the inaugural season of this project.
During the 2008–09 season, North District finished second bottom from the table and came close to being eliminated from the football league. However, the club was able to finish second in the Elimination Playoff and was allowed to remain.
As part of the HKFA's decision to unify the Third Division A League and the Third Division District League, North District were placed in the Hong Kong Fourth Division during the 2012–13 season based on their prior season's results.
Starting from the 2016–17 season, North District has been branded as Golik North District due to sponsorship reasons.
On 29 April 2018, North District defeated KCDRSC 4–1 to clinch the Hong Kong Third Division title for the first time. They gained promotion to the Hong Kong Second Division.[2]
In the 2018–19 season, North District won the Hong Kong Second Division title and was promoted to the Hong Kong First Division.
On 22 June 2023, after finishing third in the First Division, North District was granted promotion to the Hong Kong Premier League by the HKFA board of directors.[3]
Starting from the 2023–24 season, North District has been rebranded as Crownity North District due to sponsorship reasons.[4]
Starting from the 2025–26 season, North District has been rebranded as Golik North District again due to sponsorship reasons.[5]
