It appears now that the plans have been altered. Citizen will promote in order to give the top young players on both squads a chance to experience top flight football, while Supreme will look to win the First Division with more experienced players. Though a First Division title is not a necessary condition for promotion, it would provide the club with face, and avoid the awkward situation Hoi King faced in 2018 when they were promoted in spite of an eighth-place finish.
Sources close to the situation also indicated that Wong would continue to operate Citizen, even though he had told reporters a week ago that he wanted to decrease his involvement in order to focus on his day job.

If Supreme were to be promoted in time for the 2026-27 season, a scenario could happen where Supreme and Citizen swap places and squad. In this scenario, Citizen would self-relegate and resume playing in the First Division but with Supreme’s former players.
