Formed in 1931, Kitchee SC is one of the most prominent sides in Hong Kong, and secured their eighth top-flight league title this weekend after overturning Eastern's one point lead at the top of the table by defeating them on the final day of the season.
The visit will mark our third trip to Hong Kong in the last nine years following successful visits in 2009, when we played South China, and 2013, when we competed in the Barclays Asia Trophy.
This upcoming fixture will form part of the celebration programmes of the 20th Anniversary of the Reunification of Hong Kong with the People’s Republic of China.
