The Hong Kong Football Team has once again succeeded to book a spot in next year’s Asian Cup finals. This is the first time for 54 years, as the last time Hong Kong qualified was in 1968. The venue for the finals is yet to be decided following China’s withdrawal from hosting the event.
In an interview, two players said that the team was ecstatic, describing it as, “demonstrating fully the spirit of Hong Kong people.” Experts believe such success in major sports events will no doubt help to raise the hopes and morale of the Hong Kong people.
