In the 2011–12 Hong Kong First Division League season, Sham Shui Po uses the sports ground for all its home matches. On 18 September 2011, the sports ground registered its first ever full house for a Hong Kong First Division League match, but Sham Shui Po was defeated by visitors South China by 0-2.[2]

In 2017-18, Rangers moved their home matches back to Sham Shui Po Sports Ground.

The following season, due to Rangers' relegation, Hoi King became the new tenant of the ground.

In 2019-20, due to Eastern's selection of Tseung Kwan O Sports Ground as their home stadium, Lee Man moved to Sham Shui Po Sports Ground.[3]
