Brian Leung seeks final term as Hong Kong Football Association chairman
Veteran chairman keen to see completion of modern training centre in Tseung Kwan O
Brian Leung Hung-tak wants a final term as Hong Kong Football Association chairman in order to take care of unfinished business.
The body will elect its office bearers in June and Leung's post is expected to be uncontested.
Leung has been at the helm since 2007, but the next four years would be his last term under the new constitution.
It should be rebuilt to the standard of the Mong Kok Stadium. I will push to make it happen in my last term
"I am close to 70, but still I love the challenges in soccer," said Leung yesterday. "Soccer in Hong Kong is making great strides after the Phoenix Project was introduced and we are working in the right direction.
"I am happy to have been involved, but would also like to see three major projects completed before I step down."
The construction of the training centre in Tseung Kwan O, plus the renovation of two sports grounds at Aberdeen and Sham Shui Po are Leung's major goals.
"We need a well-equipped training centre for different levels of the representative teams and the proposal for the Tseung Kwan O centre has been on the table for so many years. I think its time to get it started," he said.
