New Look Website 全新面貌的足總網站

New Look Website


I really hope that you like our new website. We have responded to comments that we have received from lots of people and tried to incorporate the features that have been suggested. We get a huge volume of ‘traffic’ to the site (over 700,000 ‘hits’ every day). This just shows how much interest there is in the HKFA, the work we do and football in Hong Kong generally.
The new website is I believe much more informative and there is more detail particularly around the 1st Division where this season we are monitoring the ‘stats’ for all of the matches and players. This data is also necessary to support our new ‘Fantasy Football’ game which is proving to be very popular.
 
 
The design and layout is more contemporary and hopefully we have made it easier to navigate the site. For example we have specific pages for different facets of our work including the Representative Teams, 1st Division, women’s football, youth development, refereeing, coach education etc.
We would appreciate your feedback on the new site and as always we would welcome your comments and observations on how we can make it better. We have also launched a new bi-monthly e-newsletter so if you are interested in receiving a copy, just drop us an email. It’s all part of our plan to make the HKFA more transparent and to engage better with the football fans of Hong Kong.
Finally I would like to thank our Marketing and IT teams for their hard work in getting the new website and e-newsletter up and running.

全新面貌的足總網站

我由衷希望你們會喜歡全新設計的足總網站,根據我們收集不同用家的意見後,從中採納各項可取的建議並付諸實踐。誠然,足總網站擁有大量的訪客流量(每日大約錄得超過七十萬點擊率),反映不少網民對足球總會及我們每天如何推動本地足球事業充滿好奇和興趣。
煥然一新的足總網頁,我深信內容更具資訊性,而且亦會提升有關本年度香港甲組足球聯賽的篇幅,例如各項賽事及出場球員的比賽數據,而這些實用數據亦會應用於目前風靡全城的甲組聯賽經理人遊戲上,令遊戲的真實度與現實世界接軌。
 
美觀時尚的設計,簡約直接的佈局,希望可以令大家更容易瀏覽網頁內容,例如我們為不同項目設定特定的頁面,包括香港代表隊、甲組聯賽、女子足球、青少年發展、裁判及教練培訓等等。
我們期待大家對全新網站提供寶貴意見,歡迎隨時將你的感想與我們共同分享,務求做得更好!此外,足總亦有每兩個月出版的電子簡報,直接發送至你指定的電子郵箱中,讓你緊貼足總的最新消息。凡此種種,都是我們計劃的一部分,藉此將足總每天所發生的人和事變得更加公開透明,從而為本港球迷提供更多互動性的參與!
最後,我衷心感謝市場推廣部以及資訊科技部的同事們所作出的努力,讓全新網站和電子簡報得以順利推出!

    I see Singapore is bidding to host 2019 FIFA Youth World Cup.

    Maybe HKFA should talk to FAS about co-hosting the 2019 FIFA Youth World Cup? By 2019 Kai Tak Stadium will be ready and we can also use HK Stadium, Mongkok Stadium and Siu Sai Wan Sports Ground. They need 7 stadiums with about 7,000 capacity each and I don't think Singapore really has the 7 required as of now. This is potentially a great opportunity.

    Please at least try to talk to FAS. Stop saying I need to do A, then B, then C, then D and then we can consider co-hosting, when you don't even know if you will be around by 2019.

    Regards,

  2. Dear Allan,
    I have some contacts at the FAS so I can make some tentative enquiries. Having been to Singapore and worked there on football projects I don't think they have the 7 stadiums either. However they have had a FIFA inspection already and we have not. Also I do not believe that the new Tai Tak Stadium will be finished in time to host the Youth World Cup in 2019. In reality it would need to be finished in 2018 to hold 'test' events, which I just can't see happening.
    A joint bid also pre-supposes that FAS would want us to join with them and also that FIFA would accept a joint bid.
    I'm not ruling it out and I'm not saying it's a bad idea, I am just putting forward the isses that will need to be addressed. In principle I think it is a good idea to host events - just look at the AFC U16 qualifiers that we hosted. Would we have qualified for the finals if we hadn't hosted it? I don't think so.
    It is unlikely that I will still be here in 2019, my contract expires long before that but that is irrelevant. I care about what happens to Hong Kong football in the long term, not just the time that I am here.
    Thanks for the good idea.
    Regards
    Mark
