Post-match press conferences were cancelled, leaving no opportunity for organisers to enthuse, but a source with knowledge of high-profile local football events said the Saudi Arabian Football Federation covered the costs, with the venue and the Football Association of Hong Kong, China each receiving a fee, and “no one here out of pocket”.
In a hint at discussions to come, a source close to the Saudi association said the visitors were dissatisfied with the venue, calling it “not befitting the quality of players here and this competition”.
They added there was disappointment at the unavailability of Kai Tak Stadium – already booked when this event was finalised in June – and said organisers were keen to explore staging the event in mainland China.
