The Hong Kong U23 Football Team (Chinese: 香港ほんこんU23足そく球だま隊たい) was a Hong Kong professional football team managed by the Hong Kong Football Association. Mainly formed by U23 local players, the team once competed in the Hong Kong Premier League. They were dissolved after the end of the 2023–24 season.

History

[edit]

Following the withdrawals of Pegasus and Happy Valley from the 2021–22 HKPL season, the Hong Kong Football Association announced in August 2021 that a new HKPL team mainly formed by U23 local players will be established.[1]

On 2 September 2021, the HKFA confirmed the establishment of HK U23. The team's operation will be maintained for at least three years and no foreign players are allowed to be registered in the team. Meanwhile, the number of overaged players is restricted to five for the team, with no more than three on the pitch during matches. The rest of the players must meet the registration status of U23 local players. [2][3][4]

Ahead of the 2022–23 season, the club announced that they would move across town from Tsing Yi Sports Ground to Tseung Kwan O Sports Ground.[5]

Starting from the 2023–24 season, the number of overaged players allowed to play on the pitch during matches is changed from three to five.

On 25 May 2024, the club announced that they would be dissolved after the end of the 2023–24 season.[6]
