Hong Kong – May 28, 2025 — The Hong Kong national football team is gearing up to host India in a pivotal AFC Asian Cup qualifier on June 10, 2025. This match marks the first international football fixture at the newly opened 50,000-seat Kai Tak Stadium, and public excitement is palpable.
Tickets for the 8:00 PM kickoff went on sale via Cityline on May 28, with prices set at HK$200 for adults and HK$80 for concessions. The response has been overwhelming, with the majority of seats already sold, signaling a near sell-out crowd for this historic encounter.
Both teams are seeking their first win in the qualifying campaign, having drawn their opening matches. Hong Kong played to a 0-0 stalemate against Singapore, while India was held to a surprising 0-0 draw by Bangladesh. With only the group winner advancing to the 2027 AFC Asian Cup finals in Saudi Arabia, this match carries significant weight for both sides.
Head coach Ashley Westwood has expressed enthusiasm about playing at the new venue, stating that the larger stadium and anticipated crowd support will provide a boost to the team. The match is expected to be a showcase of Hong Kong’s footballing aspirations and the capabilities of the state-of-the-art Kai Tak Sports Park.
