Tai Po Sports Ground is a sports ground (mainly soccer) in Tai Po, Hong Kong.
It is the home ground of Tai Po FC. It staged its first ever Hong Kong First Division League game on 30 September 2006, when Tai Po FC played South China AA here. Tai Po FC eventually lost 2:3.
[edit] 2007 Refurbishment
After the game, the sports ground is found to be unsuitable for further first division games. But refurbishment work was begun in 2007 to upgrade the sports ground, including refurbishng the changing rooms, building corporate boxes, installing new goal posts and replanting the grass, so that Tai Po FC can play all its home games in the 2007-08 league season here. The work will cost the Leisure and Cultural Department HK$1 million.
[edit] 2007/08 Hong Kong League First Division
On 3 August 2007, the HKFA agreed to allow Tai Po FC to play 9 games at the Tai Po Sports Ground in the 2007/08 league season, regardless whether the games are home or away. There are likely to be other first division matches for two other clubs at the ground on the same days as well.
