Hong Kong League XI
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hong Kong League XI is a team which represents Hong Kong to particpate in exhibitional matches, mainly Lunar New Year Cup (previously known as Carlsberg Cup) during the Chinese New Year. Competitive matches such as World Cup Qualifiers are played by the Hong Kong national football team.
The team is formed by the top players in Hong Kong First Division League. Both Hong Kong and foreign players (including those from mainland China) can be included in the team. However, as the quality of local players is usually lower, it has been often that most of the outfield players are foreigners.
In recent years, HKFA fielded the Hong Kong national football team to participate in matches which are usually played by Hong Kong League XI (e.g. Carlsberg Cup). Therefore, Hong Kong League XI has not formed a squad for a few years. However, the team returned and competed in the 2007 Lunar New Year Cup.
