Trophy host fears long wait for replay

It has taken four years for the Barclays Asia Trophy to return to Hong Kong this week, and Hong Kong Football Association chairman Brian Leung Hung-tak (pictured) fears fans may face another long wait for the tournament to return again.

Over 76,000 fans attended the event when it was first held here in 2007 and organisers expect a similar figure for this year as Chelsea, Aston Villa, Blackburn Rovers and domestic champions Kitchee contest the tournament at Hong Kong Stadium over two match days.
