For some weeks it has been well known in local circles that the Hongkong Football Association was giving most active consideration to the possibility of sending a representative side to Europe in the months immediately following the end of the current season.

The project has been openly discussed, considered and publicised. There are, those who are rightly concerned about the financial aspects of such an undertaking and no matter how optimistically one views it there are undoubtedly many problema involved.
