'''Harbour View Football Club''' is a Jamaican [[football (soccer)|football]] club based in [[Kingston, Jamaica|Kingston]] that currently plays in the top flight [[National Premier League|Jamaica Premier League]].

Harbour View F.C. is nicknamed the ''Stars of the East'' or ''Easters'' and play their home games at [[Harbour View Stadium]].

==History==
Founded by Vin Blaine along with the [[Harbour View, Jamaica|Harbour View]] community in the 1960s, the professional club, Harbour View F.C, was officially established on March 4, 1974. Then, 25 years later, the club was officially incorporated as a [[limited liability company]] and was the first [[Jamaica]] football club to become incorporated.

Harbour View F.C. has developed a reputation for being the first in Jamaica in many aspects. The ''Stars of the East'' became the first club to have an official website, and the first to build a world-class football stadium. [[Ricardo Gardner]] was the inaugural [[National Premier League|Jamaica Premier League]] player to transfer to a major European league after joining the [[Bolton Wanderers]] in 1998.<ref>[http://ksafa.net/Archives/News_HVFC.htm THE HISTORY OF THE HARBOUR VIEW FOOTBALL CLUB (HVFC)] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120120024840/http://ksafa.net/Archives/News_HVFC.htm |date=2012-01-20 }} – KSAFA</ref> Club management is also setting the pace in bringing true professionalism to Jamaica's football landscape. In addition, at the beginning of the [[2006–07 National Premier League|2006 season]], the club's equipment was sponsored by [[Adidas]]. The club generates revenue through sponsorships, match tickets, and other businesses such as stadium bars and [[Western Union]].
