Strengths Weaknesses
Strongest professional league in Asia
Japanese FA relies on J league too much
Facility quality very high – inspirational arenas for spectators
Some clubs still have grounds which they cannot fill
Intelligent approach to home grounds – many J League clubs have two venues
Has reached its plateau?
International success
Significant difference when compared to Hong Kong
Each first division team has at least one home ground
Most of the clubs are equipped with high capacity and high quality and venues
Sufficient training facilities (purpose-built football training school, sports clubs with specialized purpose)

school
Professional football team reduce chance to have “new-blood”
Affect football development
AFC Assessment of Asian Football (Out of Total of 500)
Hong Kong did not meet the AFC criteria for entry into the AFC Champions League (Grade D).
There is an urgent need to improve thegovernance, leadership, business, facilities, grounds and organisation of football in Hong Kong.
Suggestions to improve the facilities
the Government allocate a ‘home’ ground to each First Division Team
Build more artificial turf pitches to meet the demand Reduce the number of training sessions and matches
of natural turf pitches ensure sufficient time for LCSD to improve the quality
Develop a playing pitch strategy Develop and manage a new “national” football
training centre (Reference example: Everton Football Club training centre)
