This is a Nike Hong Kong national team 2024-25 home jersey featuring the name and number of star winger Shinichi Chan.
Hong Kong has a rich footballing history, having played their first international match over 100 years ago and becoming a FIFA member in 1954. Despite being a Special Administrative Region of China since 1997, Hong Kong have maintained a national football team and regularly play against China. Although Hong Kong have never qualified for the World Cup, their most celebrated victory was in the 1986 World Cup qualifiers, where they recorded an historic 2-1 against China in Beijing to advance to the next stage of qualifiers and subsequently knock-out China. After several decades of struggles, Hong Kong have re-emerged on the international stages over the past 10 years and have consistently achieved relatively strong results. This improvement has culminated in their qualification for the 2023 AFC Asian Cup, their first appearance at the tournament since 1968.
Shinichi Chan was born in Tokyo, but spent most of his youth in Hong Kong, where he was developed in the youth teams at Central & Western and later at Hong Kong Pegasus FC. In 2017, he made his senior debut with Resources Capital in Hong Kong’s 2nd tier and was then signed by Hong Kong giants Kitchee, where he won multiple domestic honours in the Hong Kong Premier League. In 2023, he became the first Hong Kong player to score in Spain’s professional leagues while on loan at Real Unión in the Primera Federación. In June 2024, he transferred to Chinese Super League powerhouse Shanghai Shenhua, one of the biggest clubs in mainland China. Internationally he made his senior debut for Hong Kong at just 16, and has since played 31 matches for the national team, including every match in their historic 2023 AFC Asian Cup campaign.
