The '''Hong Kong national football team''' ({{zh|c=香港足球代表隊|cy=Hēunggóng jūkkàuh doihbíu deuih}}; recognised as '''Hong Kong, China''' by [[FIFA]]) represents [[Hong Kong]] in international [[association football|football]] and is controlled by the [[Football Association of Hong Kong, China]], the governing body for [[football in Hong Kong]].

Hong Kong hosted the first [[AFC Asian Cup]] in 1956 and won third place, also reaching the semifinals in 1964. Hong Kong did not qualify for another AFC tournament until [[2023 AFC Asian Cup|2023]]. They had never qualified for the [[FIFA World Cup]] and their biggest celebrated victory was the [[1986 FIFA World Cup qualification (AFC)]] where Hong Kong produced a [[China v Hong Kong (1985)|2–1 upset win]] against China which resulted in Hong Kong qualifying for the second rounds of qualification. Hong Kong has qualified for the [[EAFF E-1 Football Championship]] six times, in 1995, 1998, 2003, 2010, 2019 and 2022.

==History==
===Establishment and pre-WWII era===
Before Hong Kong became a member of FIFA in 1954, Hong Kong began playing in the [[Hong Kong–Macau Interport]] tournament in 1937,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.hkfa.com/news_details/5947|script-title=zh:漫談港澳埠際賽|title=maan6 taam4 gong2 ou3 fau6 zai3 coi3|language=zh-hk|publisher=HKFA|date=15 June 2008|access-date=15 June 2008|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160307153745/http://www.hkfa.com/news_details/5947|archive-date=7 March 2016}}</ref> which was one of the oldest competitions co-held by Hong Kong as well as continuously played. There were other interport tournaments in the past, such as the Shanghai-Hong Kong Interport which was first held in 1908.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.hkfa.com/news_details/8083|script-title=zh:滬港盃回顧 (一)|title=wu6 gong2 bui1 wui4 gu3 (jat1)|date=8 November 2010|access-date=11 May 2018|publisher=HKFA|language=zh-hk}}</ref> At that time the team was composed of ethnic Chinese as well as western expatriates, as in the 1935 and 1937 edition of Shanghai-Hong Kong Interport.<ref>{{cite news|title=gong2 wu6 fau6 zai3 zuk1 kau4 coi3|script-title=zh:港滬埠際足球賽|date=28 January 1935|work=The Kung Sheung Evening News|location=Hong Kong|via=Hong Kong Public Libraries MMIS|language=zh-hk}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|title=Colony soccer team favoured, but Shanghai are dangerous.

The [[China national football team|China national team]] that participated in [[Football at the 1936 Summer Olympics|1936]] and [[Football at the 1948 Summer Olympics|1948 Summer Olympics]], were mainly composed of ethnic Chinese players from Hong Kong, most famously [[Lee Wai Tong]].<ref>{{cite news|url=http://eresources.nlb.gov.sg/newspapers/Digitised/Article/nysp19480412-1.2.33|script-title=zh:我國參加世運足球隊遴選前後內幕六月上旬經星將作戰兩場|date=12 April 1948|access-date=9 September 2017|work=Nanyang Siang Pau|location=Singapore|via=Singapore National Library|title=NewspaperSG – Terms and Conditions}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=http://eresources.nlb.gov.sg/newspapers/Digitised/Article/nysp19480518-1.2.22.1|script-title=zh:世運足球隊一行十九人昨日下午殺抵本土容領隊發表出國戰况及出席世運日期並謂馮景祥張金海日內動程來星集隊|date=18 May 1948|access-date=9 September 2017|work=Nanyang Siang Pau|location=Singapore|via=Singapore National Library|title=NewspaperSG – Terms and Conditions}}</ref>

After WWII, a number of Shanghai-based players began representing Hong Kong, such as [[Chang King Hai]] and [[Hsu King Shing]]. Hong Kong played its first international match after [[World War II]] in 1949,{{citation needed|date=September 2017}} against [[South Korea national football team|South Korea]]. Its first victory came in 1953, a 4–0 win against South Korea.{{citation needed|date=October 2017}}

===FIFA member (1954–present)===
The [[Hong Kong Football Association|Hong Kong FA]] became a member of [[FIFA]] and the [[Asian Football Confederation]] in 1954. Since then Hong Kong played their first FIFA-recognised international match against other countries. HKFA also sent a [[scratch team]] for [[1957 Merdeka Tournament]], which was composed of players from [[Eastern Sports Club|Eastern]] due to their proximity, plus few players from other clubs. The club was having a pre-season tour in South Asia, thus the HKFA invited the club to represent Hong Kong. However, some of the players were in fact ineligible to play for Hong Kong, as they were ROC (Taiwan) international players.<ref>{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=ATWrCgAAQBAJ|script-title=zh:足球王國：戰後初期的香港足球|last=Lee|first=John C.W.|language=zh-hk|publisher=[[Joint Publishing]]|location=Hong Kong|date=2015|access-date=18 December 2017|isbn=9789620437823|page=72|via=Google Books preview|url-access=limited}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|script-title=zh:足總首次執委會議 渣甸東華均獲陞甲組 足聯抗議另開會研討 參加馬來亞獨立賽擬請東方代表|newspaper=Wah Kiu Yat Po|date=14 August 1957|page=8|language=zh-hk}}</ref>

Hong Kong qualified for three of the first four editions of the [[Asian Cup]], including a third-place finish in [[1956 AFC Asian Cup|the 1956 edition]] as host. At that time, most Hong Kong players represented [[Chinese Taipei national football team|Republic of China (Taiwan)]]; they finished third in the Asian Cup in [[1960 AFC Asian Cup|the 1960 edition]], leaving more inferior players to the proper Hong Kong team.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.isu.edu.tw/upload/26/4/HS_journals/Vol1-9/11.pdf|title=The Influence of Hong Kong South China|access-date=14 October 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170810183120/http://www.isu.edu.tw/upload/26/4/HS_journals/Vol1-9/11.pdf|archive-date=10 August 2017|url-status=dead}}</ref>

Hong Kong has never qualified for the [[Football World Cup|World Cup]]. However, its most celebrated victory happened during [[Football World Cup 1986 (qualification)|1986 World Cup qualifying]]. On 19 May 1985, in Beijing, Hong Kong faced [[China national football team|China]] in the final match of the first qualifying round, where Hong Kong needed a win to advance while China needed only a draw. Hong Kong, led by coach [[Kwok Ka Ming]], produced a [[China v Hong Kong (1985)|2–1 upset win]], with goals from [[Cheung Chi Tak]] and [[Ku Kam Fai]], thereby winning the group and advancing to the knockout stage where it subsequently lost to [[Japan national football team|Japan]].

The 1998 World Cup Asian qualifiers was considered one of Hong Kong's darkest moments as it was hit by a match-fixing scandal that involved former Sing Tao striker Chan Tsz-Kong who was found guilty and jailed for a year after he bribed players to throw and lose a match against Thailand. Others who were involved include goalkeeper Kevin Lok Kar-Win, defenders Chan Chi-Keung and Lau Chi Yuen and striker Wai Kwan-Lung.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football-eight-charged-over-betting-scam-1190302.html|title=Football: Eight charged over betting scam|date=23 October 2011|work=The Independent|access-date=15 October 2021}}</ref>

===Football Fever in 2015===
A short football fever appeared during [[2018 FIFA World Cup qualification|2018 World Cup qualifying]] in Hong Kong under the guidance of [[Kim Pan-gon|Kim Pan Gon]], as Hong Kong had drawn into the same group with their fierce rival, [[China national football team|China]]. Due to the tensions built up from [[Hong Kong–Mainland China conflict]], many local citizens became interested in this year's campaign; all four home matches were recorded as a sellout. Hong Kong ended the campaign with 4 victories against [[Bhutan national football team|Bhutan]] and [[Maldives national football team|Maldives]], 2 scoreless draws against China, and 2 losses against [[Qatar national football team|Qatar]].

In late 2018, after the sudden departure of [[Kim Pan-gon|Kim Pan Gon]], English-born coach [[Gary White (footballer)|Gary White]] was hired as the new head coach in which under his guidance, he helped Hong Kong secure qualification for their third appearance at the EAFF E-1 Football Championship finals after a narrow win against Chinese Taipei, a draw against North Korea and a heavy win against Mongolia. Shortly afterwards, White departed from the role.

In April 2019, Hong Kong FA appointed Finnish-born [[Mixu Paatelainen]] as the new head coach of the national football team in time for the [[2022 FIFA World Cup qualifiers]] and the [[2019 EAFF E-1 Football Championship]] tournament. His first game in charge ended in a disappointing and surprising loss  at home during friendly international against Chinese Taipei. <ref>{{Cite web|last=Bennett|first=Ben|date=12 June 2019|title=Hong Kong fall to disappointing defeat to Chinese Taipei – offside.hk|url=https://www.offside.hk/hkteam/hong-kong-fall-to-disappointing-defeat-to-chinese-taipei/|access-date=29 May 2024|language=en-US}}</ref>  However, after a run of poor performances throughout the World Cup qualifiers and the 2019 EAFF E-1 Football Championship, Mixu Paatelainen's contract was not renewed.

===Return to the AFC Asian Cup tournament===
[[File:HK_Asian_Cup_group_photo_2.jpg|thumb|right|297x297px|Hong Kong's [[2023 AFC Asian Cup|2023 Asian Cup]] team.]]
On 13 December 2021, Norwegian [[Jørn Andersen]] who formerly guided [[North Korea national football team|North Korea]] was named as the new head coach succeeding [[Mixu Paatelainen]] in preparation for the [[2023 AFC Asian Cup qualification – third round|third round of qualification of the 2023 AFC Asian Cup]].<ref>{{Cite web|last=Standard|first=The|title=Former North Korea coach Andersen takes over Hong Kong&nbsp;national football team|url=https://www.thestandard.com.hk/breaking-news/section/8/184736/Former-North-Korea-coach-Andersen-takes-over-Hong-Kong%C2%A0national-football-team|access-date=27 March 2024|website=The Standard|language=en}}</ref> He guided Hong Kong to qualify for the [[2023 AFC Asian Cup]] by beating [[Afghanistan national football team|Afghanistan]] 2–1 and [[Cambodia national football team|Cambodia]] 3–0, reaching the final tournament after a 55-year absence.<ref>{{Cite web|date=14 June 2022|title=Hong Kong can dare to dream after reaching Asian Cup for first time since 1968|url=https://www.scmp.com/sport/football/article/3181616/hong-kong-qualify-asian-cup-first-time-1968-philippines-blow-chance|access-date=27 March 2024|website=South China Morning Post|language=en}}</ref> In preparation for the tournament itself, on 2 January 2024, Hong Kong pulled a shocking 2–1 victory over arch-enemy China beating them for the first time in 29 years during the friendly match held in [[Abu Dhabi]].<ref>{{Cite news|last=Hawkins|first=Amy|date=2 January 2024|title=Hong Kong beat China at football for first time in 29 years|url=https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/jan/02/hong-kong-beat-china-at-football-for-first-time-in-29-years|access-date=27 March 2024|work=The Guardian|language=en-GB|issn=0261-3077}}</ref>

On 15 January 2024, Hong Kong then kicked off their [[2023 AFC Asian Cup Group C|2023 Asian Cup campaign]] against [[United Arab Emirates national football team|UAE]] in which they lost 3–1 in the opening match where [[Chan Siu Kwan]] scored the 1,000th goal in the AFC Asian Cup history.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Philip Chan scores 1000th goal of AFC Asian Cup|url=https://www.the-afc.com/en/national/afc_asian_cup/news/philip_chan_scores_1000th_goal_of_afc_asian_cup.html|access-date=27 March 2024|website=the-AFC|language=en}}</ref> They eventually finished the campaign at the bottom of their group after losses against [[Iran national football team|Iran]] (1–0) and [[Palestine national football team|Palestine]] (3–0).

On 29 May 2024, Jørn Andersen announced his resignation as head coach of the Hong Kong national football team after almost over 2 years in charge. <ref>{{Cite web|date=29 May 2024|title=香港隊 辭任主教練 安帥：收到冇得拒絕嘅邀請|url=https://hk.on.cc/hk/bkn/cnt/sport/20240529/bkn-20240529122118200-0529_00882_001.html|access-date=29 May 2024|website=on.cc東網|language=zh-hk}}</ref>

On 28 August 2024, English manager [[Ashley Westwood (footballer, born 1976)|Ashley Westwood]] was appointed as the new head coach of the Hong Kong national football team, succeeding Jørn Andersen. <ref>{{Cite web|date=28 August 2024|title=港足｜韋斯活任新帥信能帶領進步 足總得知過去任期短：看的是能力|url=https://www.sportsroad.hk/archives/507575?fbclid=IwY2xjawE70XVleHRuA2FlbQIxMAABHWaNYC95iSAFNoPPBJCU_eZnoa7vzBNWE-9uQCGu9xkCHDxZjJNLcTT9yA_aem_z9OH1nVzwV6Wh-Ybm5OOwQ|access-date=28 August 2024|website=sportsroad.hk|language=zh-hk}}</ref> In September 2024, Hong Kong travelled to Fiji and played two friendly matches against Oceania countries, [[Solomon Islands national football team|Solomon Islands]] and [[Fiji national football team|Fiji]].

The team also travelled to Europe on November for the first time other than Asian soil where they played against the [[Liechtenstein national football team]].

== History of naturalised players ==
During the 1950s, Arthur Santos who is of British-Portuguese nationality (whose son [[Leslie Santos|Leslie]] was a former Hong Kong international footballer) became the first naturalised player to represent the Hong Kong national football team who was then followed by another fellow Portuguese-born player named JH Toleido.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web|title=歸化交叉點——歸化香港，請居滿七年|url=https://football.fanpiece.com/trashtalking-soccer/%E6%AD%B8%E5%8C%96%E4%BA%A4%E5%8F%89%E9%BB%9E-%E6%AD%B8%E5%8C%96%E9%A6%99%E6%B8%AF-%E8%AB%8B%E5%B1%85%E6%BB%BF%E4%B8%83%E5%B9%B4-c1170630.html|access-date=2 February 2024|website=FanPiece|language=zh-Hant-HK}}</ref>

In the 1960s, there were a couple more foreign players who had represented the Hong Kong national football team whilst some were working within the national service at the time. These include British players from T. Watson, Evans, [[Ken Wallis (bowls)|Ken Wallis]] who went on to represent Hong Kong during the lawn bowls event during the [[1990 Commonwealth Games|1990]] and [[1994 Commonwealth Games]] as well as Australian-born Pete McClaren and Scottish-born [[Charlie Wright]].<ref name=":0" /> 

In the late 1970s, Scottish-born players [[Derek Currie]], Dave Anderson and Hugh McCrory all became eligible to represent the Hong Kong national football team in which Currie and Anderson took part during the 1979 Asian Cup qualifiers whilst McCrory took part during the 1982 World Cup qualifiers.

There were at least a couple more naturalised players who went on to represent Hong Kong throughout the 90's which include Bosnian-born [[Anto Grabo]] along with fellow English-born players Mark Grainger, [[John Moore (footballer, born 1966)|John Moore]] and most notably [[Dale Tempest]]. [[Sung Lin Yung]] became the first mainland born player to represent Hong Kong during the 1998 World Cup Asian qualifiers having resided for more than two years under FIFA eligibility rules unlike foreign born players that would usually require at least seven years.

In the 2000s, a couple of African and Brazilian-born players were introduced went through the naturalisation process having met the residential criteria. Nigerian-born [[Lawrence Akandu]] obtained his Hong Kong citizenship in which he played for the national team during the [[2003 East Asian Football Championship|2003 East Asia Cup]] finals where he scored a goal in a loss against South Korea. He was soon followed by Cameroon-born [[Guy Gerard Ambassa]] who obtained his permanent residential status in 2005 along with another fellow Nigerian-born player named [[Colly Ezeh]] and Brazilian-born [[Cristiano Cordeiro]] in which both of whom earned international caps during the [[2007 AFC Asian Cup qualification|2007 AFC Asian Cup]] qualifiers. Cordeiro was also the first non-Chinese captain in the history of the Hong Kong team during the 2008 East Asia Cup preliminary stages. Despite having played for the national team during the 2009 edition of the [[Guangdong–Hong Kong Cup|Guangdong-Hong Kong Cup]], Cameroonian-born [[Julius Akosah]] attempted to apply for a HKSAR passport, however his application was unsuccessful.

During the mid 2010s, there had been an increase of naturalised players being used to represent the national team in which former head coach [[Kim Pan-gon]] stated that he needed to pick his best players regardless of their origin in preparation during the 2018 World Cup qualifiers.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Chan|first=Lester|date=29 September 2022|title=Obsession with naturalized players overlooks impending crisis – offside.hk|url=https://www.offside.hk/hkteam/obsession-with-naturalized-players-overlooks-impending-crisis/|access-date=2 February 2024|language=en-US}}</ref>
