The Hong Kong Football Association (HKFA) announced on Sept. 16 that the Hong Kong Football Team will play two friendly matches against Burma (also known as Myanmar) at home on Sep. 21 and Sept. 24. This will be the first time a foreign team to come to Hong Kong for a game since the pandemic outbreak. However, football fans are only allowed in at the stadium for the second game on Saturday.

HKFA President Pui Kwan-kay has previously revealed that Burma will be invited to Hong Kong during the “international break” of the major soccer leagues.
