Miss Law said, "The Hong Kong, China Football Team advanced to today's final after winning both group-stage matches, with nearly 32 000 fans in attendance to cheer them on. With the players' relentless drive and the fans' boundless passion, the Hong Kong team defeated Cambodia 2-0 at Kai Tak Stadium, clinching the title of a FIFA-organised cup competition for the first time. The Hong Kong team demonstrated excellence in both attack and defence throughout, delivering an outstanding performance on the pitch. While benefiting from home advantage, they also fully showcased the Hong Kong football team's fighting spirit and professionalism."

She continued, "Over the past week, several Southeast Asian national teams gathered in Hong Kong to compete. I hope this mega event has brought local fans and visiting tourists a top-tier spectator experience, while also showcasing to the world Hong Kong's unique appeal as a capital of international sports events. The Government will continue to give full support to the development of local football and actively align with the national policy direction of promoting the 'three major ball games'. I look forward to the Hong Kong football team achieving further success in upcoming competitions and further fostering a culture of football enthusiasm in Hong Kong."

The FIFA ASEAN Challenge Cup 2026 (Division 2) is supported by the Government's "M" Mark System and is an influential major international sports event.

Public Tours Huanggang Port Ahead of Grand Opening, Showcasing New Facilities and Collaborative Inspection System

Security Bureau holds Huanggang Port community experience day

In anticipation of the upcoming opening of the redeveloped Huanggang Port, the Security Bureau today (October 4) organised a community experience day, inviting members of the public from all districts to visit and tour the Huanggang Port Building Hong Kong Port Area. Participants used the public transport services connecting to the port and facilities inside the port building, and learned about the novel "collaborative inspection and joint clearance" mode as well as the building's architectural design features.

Through the co-ordination of the Home Affairs Department with the District Offices across all 18 districts, more than 1 500 members of the public from various districts participated in the event. Participants travelled from designated pick-up points in their districts to the Huanggang Port Hong Kong Port Area by franchised buses or cross-boundary coach services. They toured the port building in groups guided by officers from the Fire Services Department and the Correctional Services Department.

Participants first arrived at and visited the public transport interchange of the port building to learn about the public transport arrangements. They then toured the port building to learn about its interior design features and experience various passenger-friendly facilities, including the free Government Wi-Fi service. They subsequently took the escalators to the departure hall on the fifth floor, where officers of the Immigration Department introduced the operation of the "collaborative inspection" automated channels, giving participants a better understanding of the novel "collaborative inspection and joint clearance" mode. Officers of Hong Kong Customs then explained the passenger clearance and customs inspection procedures at the arrival hall on the fourth floor.

The Secretary for Security, Mr Tang Ping-keung, visited the venue and met with participants to learn about their views on the port and experiences of the visit today. He was pleased to note that many participants responded positively and were looking forward to the early opening of the redeveloped Huanggang Port, which would bring a more efficient and convenient clearance experience to the public. Mr Tang also distributed gift packs prepared by the Security Bureau and took photographs with participants.

The community experience day was conducted in a positive and enthusiastic atmosphere, with many participants expressing excitement about the event. The event effectively enhanced participants' understanding of the public transport arrangements, immigration and customs clearance, and passenger-friendly facilities at the port building. The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government will continue to work closely with the Shenzhen side to prepare comprehensively for the opening of the port.
