Once considered the best team in East Asia and capable of challenging the world's top level, Hong Kong-China played in the final round of the 1978 FIFA World Cup™ Asian qualifiers and 8 years later defeated China PR. Since then, the national team seemed to lack a consistent plan, putting in efforts on a match-by-match basis and failing win. In 2003, with the appointment of native Lai Sun Cheung in command, a drastic change took place. A specialist in youth development, Lai Sun Cheung led the national team to win all four of the 2003 East Asian Football Championship Preliminary Competition and qualifying to the finals with a perfect 26 points and no goals surrendered. In the commemorative 1st East Asian Football Championship, Hong Kong-China played in the opening match against Korea Rep. Though they were defeated 1-3, at one point Hong Kong-China tied the score against the 2002 World Cup quarter-finalist, giving Korea Rep. a scare. The next match against Japan took place in a typical away-match atmosphere in front of a packed stadium full of Japanese supporters. With a solid organized defense, Hong Kong-China prevented Japan's attacks early on and created several chances of their own. They lost 0-1 to a penalty kick. In their last match, against China PR, Hong Kong-China fought aggressively and played a close match, but lost 1-3. Their sensational performance could not be repeated in the 2005 championship, as Hong Kong-China lost the ticket to the final competition to DPR Korea in the qualifying stage. Hong Kong-China's determination to do better next time is stronger than ever.

Name of Coach : Wai Hoi Ying
ComingSoon...



Teams from Asia are among the best in women's football, and Hong Kong-China has made a significant contribution. Hong Kong-China hosted the Asian Women's Championship four times - in 1975, 1981, 1986 and 1989 - of which the 1975 competition was the inauguration event. Hong Kong-China's organizational abilities are well proven, but the level of performance of their women's squad is nowhere near their operational skills. They have never played in the FIFA Women's World Cup™ or the Olympics, never won a single international title. Unlike the men's side, which boasts the oldest professional league in Asia, the women still hold an amateur status since the women's football association was established in 1965. The majority of players are students or teachers, and they find time out of their busy schedule to play as much as they realistically can. The people of Hong Kong-China are crazy about football, and that includes female fans too. Many female football fans also stay up late to watch the Premier League and UEFA Champions League match broadcasts. What is needed now to promote women's football in Hong Kong-China is to convince them that it is just as fun to kick the ball themselves.
