Hong Kong Football Fever Hits New High

You won’t believe this: Hong Kong national football team, ranked 148th in the world, has started attracting HUGE crowds since June! Their match at Kai Tak Stadium recently packed in over 42,500 fans, and some other games this year almost filled the stadium’s 50,000-seat capacity. This is absolutely stunning because Hong Kong’s team never saw support like this before. Earlier, even important games drew far fewer people. 

The stadium atmosphere turned into a total red-sea with fans chanting, flashing banners and cheering like crazy when players made a move. Everyone in Hong Kong is buzzing, excited and hopeful that the team will keep improving and maybe even shock some big countries.

Their football team has suddenly became very popular overnight, and honestly, it feels like the start of something big!
