History

Founded in 1974 as a team of Rastafarians,[1] Humble Lions F.C. was promoted to the Jamaica Premier League for the first time at the end of the 2008–09 season, making their debut in Jamaica's major football top-flight.

They finished both of their first two seasons in the top tier just above the relegation zone but spent big in summer 2011 when looking for a promising start of the 2011–12 season.[2] Humble Lions F.C. has seen notable coaches such as Lenworth Hyde, Donovan Duckie, and Vassell Reynolds. Their president is a Jamaican politician Mike Henry.
