Shopping mall to host innovative 3 vs 3 competition
A soccer 'festival' is being held in Langham Place to get Hongkongers in the mood for the 2008 Uefa European Football Championships.
Sponsored by German sportswear manufacturer adidas, the event - which includes a competition based on an interactive football game - was launched on May 28 and runs until June 15 at the Mong Kok shopping mall. It is the first such activity to be held in Hong Kong.
Euro 2008 - the continent's premier football tournament held every four years - will take place in Austria and Switzerland from June 7-29.
'By organising the adidas Euro 2008TM Together as one Football Competition, we invite all Hong Kong football fans to enjoy this long-anticipated sporting event with us and share the excitement of Euro fever together,' said Adrian Siu, general manager of adidas Hong Kong at the launching ceremony on May 28.
Football fans are welcome to form three-member teams and register for the competition to be held on June 15. It is open to participants of any age, male or female.
A team can include players from both genders, with a height requirement of between 1.5 metres and 1.9m.
