Hong Kong Soccer Sevens organisers hail return of ‘iconic’ tournament in May after 4-year hiatus
The HKFC Citi Soccer Sevens is set to return to the Hong Kong Football Club in May after a 4-year hiatus, organisers confirmed on Monday.
The three-day tournament – last held in 2019 with Newcastle winning their third title – will be held at HKFC from May 26 to 28.
Sixteen teams will be competing in the main tournament and 10 others in the Masters competition come May.
Of the main tournament teams, organisers revealed at least eight will come from the Premier League, with Brighton & Hove Albion, former champions Leicester City and reigning champions Newcastle confirming their participation.
Hong Kong Premier League sides Kitchee and HKU23 will join as host teams, and the organisers are considering adding another European side with the full list to be confirmed by April.
