HONG Kong will play one of their internationals against Taiwan at the new Shek Kip Mei stadium, which will be finished in December this year.
Taiwanese officials yesterday confirmed that they have accepted a Hong Kong Rugby Football Union invitation to tour the territory from December 8-14.
They will play three matches - two internationals against the Hong Kong national side and another match against the local development squad.
And the Union decided to hold one of the internationals at the new 2,500-seat facility in the heart of Kowloon.
Union secretary Peter Else said: ''For all we know, we could be opening the stadium.'' The matches will provide Hong Kong with ideal preparation for next year's Asian Rugby Football Tournament in Kuala Lumpur.
The territory are also hoping to bolster their preparations by hosting Italy and the United States.
