Hong Kong football fans who wanted to watch the side’s match against Cambodia are now in luck.

The game is the first for Mixu Paatelainen’s side as they look to make it to a first World Cup finals and qualify for Qatar 2022.

Hong Kong have a dismal record in qualifying, having never even made it to the final stages of the qualifiers, let alone the World Cup finals themselves.

However, their opening game is against a side ranked 170th in the world and one that has never beaten Hong Kong in five meetings. In fact, Hong Kong have won all five matches by a total score of 17-5.
