When we started in 2002, we called ourselves Hungry Lions. 16 boys were involved in the young soccer fanatics in Imizamo Yethu. We started with one set of shirt no soccer boots no shorts playing bare foot against the opponents with full kit.

In the beginning of 2003 Hungry Lions have been renamed to Hungry Celtic Lions in honour of Glasgow Celtic whose member has provided us with new shirts - uniforms in the familiar green and white colours. A tourist from Glasgow, John Hughes had visited the region some time ago. A while later, he returned to South Africa and presented to us with new uniforms as a gift from Glasgow Celtic. We all know the leopard cannot change its sports, but fortunately, we are Lions so we had no problem in changing our name to the Hungry Celtic Lions in appreciation to great Glasgow Celtic for wonderful gift.

We would like to thank people of Hout Bay especially Seven Eleven Seperette for numbering our jerseys and Sport Unlimited, for white umbro brand short.
The Hungry Celtic Lions have an under 13 team as well as an under 16 team and its 36 enthusiastic members play matches every Saturday in the junior league of the Hout Bay Football Association. They practice every weekday from 4:00 pm to 5:30 pm.
