The Hong Kong Men’s senior squad today (13th April) heads for Bangkok to take part in the 4th Men’s Asian Hockey Federation (AHF) Cup. Hong Kong will play in the tournament’s opening Pool A match against Uzbekistan on 16 April, followed the next day against Kazakhstan. The other teams in Pool A are Oman and Sri Lanka.
Hong Kong won the inaugural tournament in 1997 and repeated the success in 2002. Both were held in Hong Kong. However, in the third edition held in Singapore in 2008, Hong Kong could only manage 7th place out of 9 teams. This time round, Hong Kong will aim to finish in the top four to gain a ticket to next year’s Asia Cup.
The HKHA wishes the squad the very best.
