Over the last week the local football community has come together to support the victims and everyone affected by the tragedy. www.offside.hk/uncategorize...

It’s absolutely heartbreaking to see the tragedy in Tai Po. Our deepest gratitude to the firefighters and emergency responders who rushed in without hesitation and to all the helpers offering comfort and aid on the ground. To everyone affected: you’re in our thoughts. 🙏

According to SCMP and other sources, the HKFA will announce the sacking of Ashley Westwood soon. Several local and previous coaches are in the mix for an interim appointment until the end of the Asian Cup campaign, while a new permanent head coach hiring process is underway.

📈 Hong Kong tops average attendance for home games in 3rd round of Asian Cup qualifiers 🙌 🇭🇰: With an average attendance of 45,273 at their 3 home games at the new Kai Tak Stadium, HK comes out on top in Asia (🇲🇾: 29,436; 🇧🇩: 22,457)

Ashley Westwood’s position as manager is untenable after Hong Kong failed to qualify for the 2027 Asian Cup. He must do the honourable thing and resign — or he must be sacked. www.offside.hk/hkteam/ashle...

The Hong Kong women’s team is going to travel to Switzerland for two friendly games. On Wed night, 26 Nov, 6 pm, they will take on FC St Gallen at Sportanlage Kellen (shoutout to our friends at @senf.sg!). 3 days later, on 29 Nov, 2 pm, Liechtenstein at the Eschen-Mauren Sportpark

FT - Singapore beat Hong Kong 2-1 and qualify for the 2027 Asian Cup. Nothing left to play for in the campaign for 🇭🇰. One can’t help to seriously question Westwood’s pick for goalkeeper for these last 2 games.

Singapore taking the lead, 2-1. Heartbreak in the making? #hkfootball

Some of the players who took to the field at Mong Kok Stadium mentioned that the pitch’s turf has grown a bit long and could benefit from a trim. Maybe one way to slightly improve speed and intensity of the next games there. #hkfootball

FT: @acmilanofficial.bsky.social celebrate a 4-2 win over @lfcr.bsky.social and are awarded the Standard Chartered Trophy. Respectable performance from both teams tonight, yet still an exhibition game after all. Kai Tak Stadium proved itself once again as a world-class venue #hkfootballfestival

New sports event attendance record for Kai Tak Stadium tonight: 49704 people came out for @lfcr.bsky.social and @acmilanofficial.bsky.social Can @arsenalfc.bsky.social and @tottenhamhotspur.com top this on 31 July? #hkfootballfestival

🚨⚽️ 52’ 2-1 for @acmilanofficial.bsky.social. The Rossoneri taking the lead once again after a brilliant counter-attack initiated by Leão, and an ice-cold finish by Loftus-Cheek. #hkfootballfestival

🚨⚽️ 1-0 for @acmilanofficial.bsky.social after a beautiful finish by Rafael Leão - not to the liking of the majority inside Kai Tak Stadium @lfcr.bsky.social #hkfootballfestival

They are still looking for players that can strengthen the current squad defensively #hkfootball

According to Lee Chi-kin, everything is prepared to get the Tai Po Training centre establishment started, but currently the club is still waiting for approval from Hong Kong’s Culture, Sports and Tourism Bureau. So the overall timeline is still unclear. #hkfootball

Second time lucky? As Kitchee spend another summer rebuilding, what can fans expect? www.offside.hk/league/anoth...

The HK passport applications for Kitchee’s Callum Beattie and Jay Haddow are still in progress, but the club remains hopeful of confirmation before start of season #hkfootball

We're hearing there will be at least 10 teams in the #HKPL next season. Could be as many as 12 if certain conditions are met. Eastern District, Canton United and Citizen/Supreme are the teams in the mix to join next season.

In a dramatic finish at the packed Kai Tak Stadium HK secured a 1-0 victory over India in their Asian Cup qualifier on June 10. A late penalty by Stefan Pereira in the 94th minute decided the match after Indian goalkeeper Vishal Kaith fouled Michael Udebuluzor www.instagram.com/p/DKuuI4PMQq...

Manchester United ended their turbulent 2024-25 season with a 3-1 comeback win over a Hong Kong selection in a post-season friendly. The rainy night in pictures: www.instagram.com/p/DKUUd2AMJn...

First Division champions, Citizen, have applied for promotion to the Premier League www.offside.hk/uncategorize...

This season, the HKFA reintroduced a triple round-robin in the top flight for the first time in 35 years. The result was the most exciting title race in years. But with the possibility of more teams next season, will the triple round-robin survive? www.offside.hk/league/why-t...

In an exclusive interview, Orr took time out to discuss Asian Cup qualifiers, food and nutrition for top athletes, the magnificence of Mehdi Taremi and defeating Iran whilst also getting tired of playing Iran www.offside.hk/uncategorize...

We can confirm that both Aleks Shliakotin and Manuel Bleda will be named in the preliminary squad to face Manchester United, Nepal and India. Vas Nuñez (without club) is also included. Lam Hin-ting and Yu Wai-lim did not make the cut.

Under Westwood, Hong Kong have only played 1 out of 8 matches against a team with higher FIFA ranking than themselves (Philippines). This will change the stats to 1 out of 9. #hkfootball

In response to rumours that the India match will be held at Kai Tak Stadium, a spokesperson for the HKFA denied that any arrangements have been finalized. #hkfootball

DEADLINE DAY DEAL: Tai Po have bolstered their attack with the last minute signing of Italo Montaño. The 25-year-old scored 5 goals and provided 3 assists for Heilongjiang Ice City in China League One last season. #hkfootball

We also talked to football commentator @rhyshrai.bsky.social on who in the Singapore squad the Hong Kong team should watch out for www.offside.hk/interview/rh...

Ahead of the Asian Cup qualifiers clash between Singapore and Hong Kong, we talked talked with Gary Koh about the current state of Singaporean football www.offside.hk/uncategorize...

What does the 2-0 over Macau tell us? The away game on 25 March against Singapore (160th) may be the first real test for Westwood in what is essentially a must win game if Hong Kong would like to be a serious contender for the 2027 Asian Cup qualification. www.instagram.com/p/DHaz7n5yeH...

Kevin Moreno's registration is complete! The Colombian CB was signed by Tai Po, who had earlier lost Marcão for the season to a serious knee injury. HK's free agent window remains open until 27/3.

As previously rumoured, HK 🇭🇰 will take on Macau 🇲🇴at Mong Kok Stadium on 19 Mar in the last test match ahead of the 2027 Asian Cup campaign, which starts on 25 Mar away in Singapore. There is doubt that Macau is an ideal sparring partner for the challenges ahead. #hkfootball

As the majority of the fans at Hong Kong Stadium fixed their eyes on mega stars like Kaka and Eden Hazard during the FWD Insurance Chinese New Year Cup on 1 Feb 2025, the Hong Kong legends quietly went about their business www.offside.hk/hkteam/huang...
