Soccer: Hong Kong's amateur Yau Yee League still relevant

Yau Yee League, with its mix of former professional and recreational players, keeps Hong Kong soccer lively and fun

In soccer, as in chemistry, a heady, heterogeneous mixture can be amazingly potent, but also precariously volatile. So, if we add some seasoned professionals to a fresh bunch of amateurs and stir it up, what do we get? The Yau Yee League - a "friendship" league forged of players, coaches and match officials of varying abilities, cultures, experiences and talents.

The Yau Yee League is, according to its website, the "premier amateur football league" in Hong Kong, and was formed in 1979. It has grown into a popular league, which today comprises four divisions and 50 teams. There are a plethora of other amateur leagues in Hong Kong but none come close to matching the YYL as an established, and respected, local competition.
