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, 1^st 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.

It’s Time to get Behind our Team 全力支持香港代表隊

It’s Time to get Behind our Team

The start of the new football season is upon us and this brings with it the re-start of our campaign to qualify for the Asian Cup. The Hong Kong Senior Team is well-placed to achieve something that hasn’t been done since 1968 – to qualify for the finals to be held in Australia in 2015. After two matches Hong Kong is second in the group of four which also includes the UAE, Uzbekistan and Vietnam. We have four more matches including home games against the UAE in October and Uzbekistan in November and away games against the UAE also in November and Vietnam next March.

Coach KIM and his team are working hard to prepare for these important matches and the HKFA is doing what it can to give them the support they need. We have arranged two friendly matches to help with these preparations and the team is travelling to Myanmar on 6^th September. On Tuesday 10^th September we play against Singapore at the Mong Kok Stadium. This will be the last opportunity to cheer on the team and show support before the competitive action starts in October. When Hong Kong beat Vietnam earlier this year the full-house and fervent support created an electric atmosphere and really gave the players a boost.

Winning is a habit and if we get positive results against Myanmar and Singapore it will generate momentum to carry forward into the Asian Cup qualifiers. So on behalf of the players, the coaches, myself and indeed the whole of the HKFA, please come and support Hong Kong on 10^th September.

Footnote

The vast majority of fans behaved in an exemplary manner when Hong Kong played against the Philippines but a small minority let the majority down by disrespecting the visiting team, fans and national anthem. Although there was a degree of provocation as well as a political under-current, we cannot condone such behavior. The HKFA is still under investigation by FIFA for the incidents surrounding that match and we face the possibility of sanctions. It is crucial therefore that at the Singapore match we prove that Hong Kong people are respectful, friendly and hospitable. Let’s have a great time supporting our team but at the same time let’s show respect to our visitors.     

全力支持香港代表隊

新球季重臨，意咪著亞洲盃外圍賽事將重燃戰火，自從1968年以來，香港代表隊將有機會尋求突破—進軍明年在澳洲舉行的亞洲盃決賽週。經過首兩輪比賽後，目前香港在小組中暫居次席，同組對手包括阿聯酋、烏茲別克和越南等勁旅。目前香港代表隊尚餘四場賽事，包括今年十月份主場迎戰阿聯酋、十一月份主場強撼烏茲別克及作客挑戰阿聯酋，最後一輪則安排於明年三月份作客出戰越南。

香港代表隊主教練金判坤先生及教練團隊經已密鑼緊鼓地進行備戰工作，而香港足球總會亦將會全面支持港隊。我們已經為球隊安排兩場國際友誼賽作為熱身，包括於九月六日遠赴緬甸及九月十日假旺角大球場與新加坡對壘，為十月份開始的連場惡戰進行最後的準備工作，相信全港球隊又可再度展示他們的熱情，重現旺角大球場座無虛席的空前盛況，打氣聲和歡呼聲為香港代表隊球員提供無限的動力泉源。

假如我們可以從緬甸和新加坡的賽事中取得美滿成績，連場勝利將可變成習慣，亦可將戰意高昂的情緒持續保持至亞洲盃外圍賽中。因此本人代表香港足球總會全體員工、教練、球員以及自己，希望全港市民能夠在九月十日舉行的新加坡賽事中親臨現場支持！

備註：

在今年六月四日主場與菲律賓的友賽中，大部分球迷都保持著高尚情操欣賞賽事，惟獨一小撮球迷對外隊、對方球迷及演奏國歌期間進行不君子行為，縱使可能與近期的政治及社會等敏感事件有關而觸發為導火線，但香港足球總會絕不能容忍任何反種族及歧視行為在賽事中出現。香港足球總會正在接受國際足協調查事件而可能面臨任何判罰。藉此今次與新加坡友賽的機會，我們可以透過球賽證明香港球迷擁有尊重他人、友善及好客之道的情操；在支持港隊的同時，亦可以尊重和欣賞對手的表現！

Trip to Guam, Supplementary 關島之行 (後續)

Trip to Guam, Supplementary

It has been brought to my attention that there has been some discussion on public forums about my recent visit to Guam. The implication of these postings is that I have used HKFA resources to fund mine and my wife’s trip. I am very disappointed that people feel it necessary to question my personal integrity in this way, especially without checking the facts. The postings are mendacious and beyond contempt.

The fact is that my wife and I paid for all of the costs of our visit to Guam including both of our flights, all of the accommodation costs and all of the activities we took part in. The total cost of our visit was circa HK$20,000 of which the HKFA paid HK$0.00, not even the train ticket to the airport.

I thought it would be a good idea to show some support to our U18 team and take a short weekend vacation at the same time. The trip was in our time and entirely at our cost. The Hong Kong team was pleased to have my support and the EAFF was also happy for me to recognize and support their tournament. I will continue to support Hong Kong football in this way.  

 

關島之行 (後續)

最近某些公眾論壇的言論引起本人的注意，話題主要環繞早前刊登的《關島之行》，帖中暗示本人有公器私用之嫌，以足總資源去支付自己及太太的旅程費用，對於質疑本人的個人操守、本人感到極為失望，尤其在欠缺任何真憑實據的支持下，這些言論絕對是不盡不實。

事實上，本人和太太為這趟旅程自資所有費用，包括雙人往返機票、相關住宿費用以及任何行程內的消費。全個旅程的費用大約為港幣二萬元，當中並沒有用上足總的一分一毫，連往返機場鐵路的車資也是自資的。

上文提及，此行之主要目的是為香港18歲以下代表隊打氣，同時亦可順道享受短暫的周末假期。縱使時間及金錢皆由己出，但樂見港隊的傑出表現以及東亞足球聯盟感謝足總對是次賽事的支持，本人認為不枉此行，而且日後將繼續支持香港足球！

East Asian Football Federation U18 Tournament – Guam東亞足球聯盟18歲以下足球錦標賽—關島

East Asian Football Federation U18 Tournament – Guam

Last weekend I had the pleasure of going to the tropical paradise of Guam, a place I have always wanted to visit. I wasn’t disappointed. The Island was beautiful and the locals were happy and friendly. The hospitality we enjoyed was second to none and I really want to publically thank our hosts, the EAFF and the Guam FA for their generosity and excellent organisation. My wife and I managed to find time for some rest and relaxation and I did some scuba diving, which was fantastic.

 

The main reason we were there however was to watch the EAFF U18 Tournament which was thoroughly enjoyable too. I am delighted to tell you that the Hong Kong team won the tournament with a 100% winning record. The Hong Kong team beat Macau, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, DPR Korea and Chinese Taipei. I was only there for the weekend so I couldn’t watch all of the matches but the ones I saw were very pleasing. The Hong Kong team performed really well and deserved their success. They controlled the games with some excellent passing and good movement off the ball. They worked hard for one another and took their chances very well. They were composed and organized throughout and looked a very mature side.

 

The discipline on and off the pitch was exemplary and testament to their character and that of the Coaching team. Coach Szeto and his colleagues deserve great credit for their work in preparing the team. I was very impressed and it gives me a lot of optimism for the future.

 

As a footnote, the Tournament was held at the Guam National Football Training Centre (pictured below). How envious I was of this excellent facility with its grass pitches, synthetic pitches, beach football court, futsal courts etc. I ask myself, how is it possible that a place like Guam with a population equivalent to 2.4% the size of Hong Kong can have a National Football Training Centre and we can’t? It’s quite embarrassing really.

東亞足球聯盟18歲以下足球錦標賽—關島

 

 

上週本人十分榮幸能夠前往心儀已久之地—「熱帶天堂」關島。這趟旅程可謂不枉之行，除了飽覽風光旖旎的醉人景致、原居民友善的好客之道、以及下榻首屈一指的住宿，本人在此公開感謝是次比賽的主辦單位—東亞足球聯盟及關島足球總會為香港代表隊提供至臻完善的安排。本人與太太難得偷得浮生半日閒，能夠在如斯美境中享受浮潛的滋味。

 

當然，此行之主要目的並非遊玩，而是親臨現場觀賞東亞足球聯盟18歲以下足球錦標賽，真的妙不可言！本人有幸目睹香港19歲以下代表隊能夠在是次大賽中贏得錦標，先後擊敗澳門、關島、北馬里亞納群島、朝鮮及中華台北，以全勝姿態登上冠軍寶座。本人雖於週末才抵步以致錯過盡覽全部賽事，但球隊的出色發揮仍覺倍感欣慰。香港代表隊在本屆賽事中表現出色，奪冠可謂實至名歸。無論在傳球及走位皆能掌控比賽節奏，各隊員間相互配合以致爭取不少埋門機會，在組織進攻及戰術演繹上，均可反映球隊步向成熟的一面。

 

此外，在教練團隊的英明領軍下，球隊在場內外皆嚴守紀律。教練司徒文俊先生以及其團隊在備戰方面應記首功。透過是次比賽，本人深受感動及對香港代表隊的未來充滿憧憬。

 

 

最後文末作為註腳，是次比賽在關島國家足球訓練中心舉行(如下圖所示)，場館內的高質素設施令人既妒且羨，如真草場地、人造草場、沙灘足球場、五人足球場等設施應有盡有。我不禁撫心自問：為何在這個僅佔香港2.4%人口的彈丸之地，存在一個頗具規模的國家足球訓練中心，反而香港不能？這真是令人尷尬。

 

 



 

Women’s Football 女子足球

Women’s Football

Girls and Women’s football in Hong Kong is really starting to take off and I’m absolutely delighted about that. One of the main recommendations of Project Phoenix was the integration of Women’s football into the HKFA. The report recognized the potential to harness increasing interest in and demand for girls and women’s football. It is after all the fasted growing sport in the world!

In recent months we have appointed a Women’s Football Manager, Ms Betty Wong who has outstanding credentials to lead this important and growing area of work. Together with our Women’s Head Coach, Ms Chan Shuk Chi we have people with limitless energy and passion for the sport as well as the expertise and knowledge to make a real difference.

I have had the pleasure to witness some of our female players in action both at Futsal and football and I have been genuinely impressed by the quality. What comes across more than anything however is the desire to improve, the enthusiasm and the obvious love of the game. It is uplifting to see such commitment. The HKFA must respond by building on this drive and putting in place the systems and resources necessary to take this facet of the sport forward.

There is huge potential and we want to ensure that every girl and woman in Hong Kong who wants to play football has the opportunity to do so. We also need to put in place the programmes and ‘pathways’ to ensure that our female players can progress to being elite footballers if they have the interest and talent.

We will soon have a five-year plan to do just that.

One of the first initiatives we have organized is a Girls Football Festival ‘Let’s Kick for Fun’ which was held on 6^th July. This project was funded by FIFA and involved over 150 girls between the ages of 5-14. As well as being fun, the girls learned new skills and hopefully reinforced their desire to make football their chosen sport. Of course I am biased but I truly believe that football is a wonderful sport for girls as much as it is for boys. It encourages physical health and well-being, teamwork, respect for self and others, discipline and self-confidence.

I believe that playing football should be encouraged by parents of both boys and girls, and by the way, it has been proven that playing sport boosts cognitive development so sport and education should go hand in hand not be mutually exclusive!

So Women’s football in Hong Kong has a bright future, of that I have no doubt.

It would be remiss of me not to mention a pioneer of women’s football in Hong Kong, Ms Veronica Chan Yiu-kam. Veronica has devoted her life to women’s football in Hong Kong and almost single-handedly kept the ball rolling, literally. The current custodians of women’s football, myself included will ensure that this dedication is not wasted, that the foundations are built upon and that there is a sustainable legacy.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

女子足球

對於香港女子足球發展正朝著發展步伐邁進，本人深表高興，「鳳凰計劃」其中一項重點建議是將女子足球與香港足球總會整合，報告認為該項建議有利促進本地女子足球項目的發展，能夠與全球高速運動發展緊密相連。

最近，足總聘請了女子足球經理黃若玲小姐，相信憑藉其傑出表現，她將會引領這項任重道遠的項目走向成功；與此同時，香港女子代表隊教練陳淑芝小姐抱著對足球用之不竭的精力和熱情，加上其專業獨到的知識，相信將與黃小姐合作無間，共創輝煌！

本人有幸親身目睹部分女子足球運動員曾在五人或十一人比賽中亮相，並對其在場上的表現印象難忘，沒有任何東西比渴望追求完美、激情以及熱愛足球更為重要，這正是提升競技水平的重要承諾，足總將全力朝著這個目標進發，投入充足資源及相關系統配合，務求將這項運動獨樹一幟。

面對這項擁有龐大發展潛力的運動，我們保證每位香港女孩能夠有機會一嘗足球所帶來的樂趣，足總將會舉辦各適其適的發展項目，以配合一些具天賦和興趣的女子足球選手一躍成為精英運動員！

足總將為此定下一個長達五年的發展計劃。

其中首項目標經已達成，足總已成功於今年七月六日舉辦了「女子足球節」(踢出快樂足球)。這項由國際足協贊助的大型戶外活動，當日超過一百五十名、年齡由五至十四歲的少女參加。她們除可在當日享受足球樂趣外，更可學習新技能以及強化她們將足球選定為心目中喜愛運動的願望。雖然我承認存有偏見，但我衷心相信足球是一項無分性別的運動，而非男士專利。足球運動不但可以鍛鍊體魄，同時亦可訓練團隊合作、尊重自己和他人、嚴守紀律和加強自信心的益處。

與此同時，本人認為家長應鼓勵子女多參與足球運動，因為足球本身有助孩子的認知發展，所以教育與運動兩者理應環環相扣，絕不能獨善其身！

毫無疑問，女子足球項目在本地的發展前景將會大放異彩！

提及本地女子足球的先驅者，不得不提陳瑤琴女士所作出的偉大貢獻。她將其大半生奉獻在足球事業上，得以令本地女子足球持續向前。因此，作為現時女子足球發展的監督者，包括本人在內，肯定陳女士所作出的努力絕不會輕易浪費，其辛苦經營的基業和心血將會薪火相傳，繼續發揚光大。

 

Refereeing 裁判工作

Refereeing

Once upon a time back in the olden days when I used to play football (poorly) I often wondered why people wanted to referee. After all it is a thankless task and a very difficult job. Unless you are a full time professional referee (of whom there are very few), the pay is poor so people can’t be doing it for the money. If referees have a good game they are seldom mentioned. If they have a bad game (and we’re all human and prone to error) they are pilloried. They are subjected to abuse from players and even worse from spectators (most of whom don’t know the Laws of the game and would never dare to referee).

I am reading Graham Poll’s autobiography at the moment (you will remember him as the EPL referee sent home from the World Cup for booking Josip Simunic three times in the Australia V Croatia match). It’s a good read, honest and to the point as you would expect from him. In it he explains that he became a referee simply because he loves the game of football. In recent months I have spoken to many referees in Hong Kong and from further afield who all say the same thing. They do it for the love of the game.

Those of us that play or watch should be eternally grateful that there are people who love our sport so much, that they are prepared to put themselves in the spotlight time and time again. Without referees there would be no football – it is as simple as that.

Project Phoenix is about raising the standard of football and that includes raising the standard of refereeing. There is a symbiotic relationship between the two. I think it’s getting harder to referee, the pace and intensity of the game is increasing and some of the Laws can be interpreted in different ways (despite FIFA’s attempts to remove any ambiguity). That means that we must work harder to recruit more referees, implement systems to develop their skills and fitness and rigorously monitor their performance.

To help in that respect the HKFA has recently appointed its first full time Referees Manager, Mr Charles Cheung, a respected FIFA referee. Charles has already started to make a difference and is putting in place plans to further develop refereeing in Hong Kong at all levels. Charles has changed careers to help Hong Kong football, again because he loves the sport. I hope he gets the support of players, Clubs, fans and other referees.

The pictures below were taken at a recent Referees Assessor course organized by Charles. Over 30 people took part which just goes to show how many people love the sport. The HKFA is grateful for the commitment shown. Again, I remind you; no referees, no football!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 裁判工作

曾經有段日子我沉醉於足球運動(自認技遜一籌)，那時我很奇怪為甚麼有人會喜歡擔任裁判員(球證)，因為這項普遍被視之不會受人頌讚和艱苦的工作，除非你是一名全職專業裁判員(不過為數極少)，若不是則難以此賺錢為生。如果一場執法水準高的比賽，球證一角總會被人遺忘，反之裁判員卻因執法水平欠佳而變成球賽中的主角(我們皆是人，都會有出錯的時候)，他們往往淪為笑柄，甚至被球員或球迷作為唾罵的對象(大部分球迷未必深諳球賽規例，因此從不會站在球證一方)。

我拜讀了格拉咸．普爾的自傳(普爾是英超聯的著名球證之一，曾在2006年世界盃澳洲對克羅地亞一仗中，向施蒙歷出示三張黃牌才逐他離場)，書中所言展露了普爾真誠的一面，在他的憶述中道出他立志成為一位裁判員的原因，就是因為他喜愛足球運動。最近數月來，我亦曾在香港與多位裁判員論及這個話題，他們的答案如出一轍，即熱愛足球，才會全心投入工作中。

無論你是喜歡踢足球或觀賞球賽，大家都應對這班熱愛從事運動工作的人士表達衷心感謝，縱使再次成為鎂光燈的主角，他們依舊毫不畏懼站在球場上。如果沒有比賽執法者，就沒有足球運動，道理就是如此簡單。

「鳳凰計劃」是旨在提升本地足球發展的整體水平，當然包含裁判水平的提升，兩者關係可謂唇齒相依。隨著比賽的激烈度和速率提升，加上部份比賽條例存在不同詮釋(儘管國際足協致力消除條例上的灰色地帶)，我相信現時裁判員的工作愈見困難。因此，我們應該積極招攬更多裁判員加入，並制訂相關系統來培訓他們的技能和體能，同時嚴厲監督他們的執法表現。

為達成上述目標，香港足球總會(足總)首次聘請全職裁判經理—張炎有先生，他是一位聲譽甚隆的國際足協球證。張先生已開始制訂不同計劃以加強發展各個級別的本地裁判工作，他決定改變其個人仕途來為香港足運發展出一份力，同樣地亦是出於熱愛運動之心。我衷心希望張先生能夠獲得球員、球會、球迷以至裁判員的全力支持。

以下圖中所見，是最近一次由張炎有先生舉辦的裁判評估員課程，當日大約逾三十名人士出席，再次反映有多少人喜歡這項運動。足總在此深表致意。我再次強調一點，沒有裁判員，就沒有足球運動！

 

It’s all about Teamwork 一切皆因「團隊合作」

It’s all about Teamwork

Henry Ford once said, “Coming together is a beginning, Keeping together is progress, Working together is success”. I was reminded of this quote at the recent HKFA Annual Awards Dinner. It was a memorable night enjoyed by all. The underlying theme was undoubtedly ‘teamwork’.

Many teams received awards for their season’s endeavours and successes and the camaraderie was palpable. The individuals that received awards would all say that they could not have achieved the accolade without the support of their teammates. One of the highlights of the evening was the ‘team’ chosen by public vote, position by position. The photo below shows the fans’ ‘dream team’ made up of the stars of different teams. The question in my mind was…… how would they perform together? I’ll let you ponder that one too.

One of the highlights of the evening for me was an impromptu photo opportunity at the end of the night when all of the HKFA staff present went on stage. Project Phoenix is all about change and managing transformation in a complex organization is never easy. We have pre-Project Phoenix staff and post-Project Phoenix staff as well as a mix of ages, gender, cultural backgrounds, interests and philosophies. It is inevitable that there will be difficulties and tribulations along the way. We have ‘come’ together because of Project Phoenix, we are ‘keeping’ together because we are passionate about what we do and about making a difference to football and we are now starting to ‘work’ together too. I felt privileged to be on stage with my colleagues and I am full of admiration for their hard work and effort, not least in making the Annual Dinner such a success. We still have a long way to go and I do not underestimate the organizational challenges that lie ahead but I am positive about the future and happy with the ‘team’ I have around me.

On the subject of teamwork, I was delighted yesterday to announce that Coach Kim has been confirmed as the permanent Head Coach of our representative teams. He has done a tremendous job in recent months and fully deserves this opportunity. At the same press briefing I was also pleased to announce that Assistant Coach Szeto has been promoted to Representative Teams Administrative Manager. I know that the players and fans will get behind this new Team. I look forward to further success.   

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

一切皆因「團隊合作」

亨利．福特先生(福特汽車公司的創辦人)曾說：「匯聚一起是一個開始，長期聯繫是一個過程，同工協作是一個成功。」這句名言讓我在最近舉行的香港足球總會週年晚宴上再次在腦海中喚起，在這個滿載難忘回憶的晚上，從在場賓客盡興而歸的表情所見，毋庸置疑地引證了「團隊合作」的重要！

經歷過去一個球季各隊所付出的努力而換來的成功，在當晚頒獎典禮上終於獲得回饋，同儕間的友好情誼在空氣中肆意傳遞，每位得獎者所發表的獲獎宣言，最大的共通點是感謝隊友間的無限支持，否則憑個人之力無法登上榮譽之巔！足球明星選舉的最大亮點是透過大眾投票、而選出最佳位置的十一人，以下圖片反映廣大球迷心目中的「地上最強」—來自不同球隊拼湊而成的最佳明星球隊！然而，我內心不禁產生疑問：這支最強之師能否發揮最強最佳？這個答案留待各位細味琢磨。

此外，就我個人而言，當晚宴會另一個高潮可謂晚宴後全體足總員工上台來張即興大合照，「鳳凰計劃」的精髓在於時刻求變，將這套理念完美應用於一間力求變革的機構上談何容易，我們當中包含「鳳凰計劃」前和「鳳凰計劃」後的同事，更遑論各人在年齡、性別、文化背景、個人喜好以及人生觀上的差異，所涉及的困難和艱辛不言而喻，我們透過「鳳凰計劃」集結在一起，可以持之以恆並一起共事，皆因全體員工深信目前所做的能夠對本港足運有所改變。對於上台合照的一刻令我萬分光榮，同時對各同事的辛勤工作和努力深表致意，雖然週年晚宴獲得一致好評，惟我們仍有一段漫長的路要走下去，我亦不會低估各類形形式式的挑戰，但對於未來發展仍然充滿信心，因為我與身邊的團隊同在！

在團隊合作的課題上，昨日我很高興地宣布金判坤成為香港代表隊主教練，金教練在最近數月間表現非凡，為港爭光！同時，香港代表隊助教司徒文俊先生亦榮升至香港代表隊行政經理一職，我深信球員以至球迷們會成為他們堅強的後盾，香港取得佳績指日可待！
