HONG KONG, June 10 (Reuters) - The Chinese Football Association has drawn criticism for publishing a promotional poster that warns not to underestimate Hong Kong's team of "black, white and yellow" players ahead of their World Cup qualifiers.
The poster, published on the CFA's official WeChat account, shows an image of three bare-chested soccer players on a red background with the caption:
"Don't underestimate any opponent. This team has people with black skin, yellow skin and white skin. For such a diverse team, be on guard!"
Former British colony Hong Kong was returned to Chinese rule in 1997 but fields many of its own sports teams in international competition.
