FA chief Eric Fok eyeing bigger role for city in world football after hosting Manchester United, Arsenal, Liverpool and Cristiano Ronaldo
Hong Kong’s football chief has pledged to exploit the sport’s mini-boom in the city as a summer of events draws to a close.
During a whirlwind few months, Hong Kong has welcomed leading clubs from England, Italy and Saudi Arabia, seen Cristiano Ronaldo open a museum in the city, and attracted more than 40,000 fans to Kai Tak Stadium to watch its representative team play India.
