The Hong Kong Football Festival (HKFF) 2026 has arrived today (Aug. 1), bringing top-tier European football back to the city with a spectacular opening night at the magnificent Kai Tak Stadium. Thousands of passionate fans from across Asia have descended on the venue.
Excitement has been building for weeks, and tonight's blockbuster clash between Manchester City and Inter Milan marks the first of two blockbuster fixtures that promise to showcase the very best of the game. The atmosphere is electric – supporters are singing, waving flags, and soaking in every moment of this long-awaited football celebration.
Our video team hit the crowd to capture the raw energy and passion of the fans. We asked them the big questions: who will claim victory, and which player will steal the show? From local Hongkongers to visitors travelling in from the mainland and beyond, the predictions are as diverse as they are spirited. Some are backing Phil Foden to weave his magic, others are tipping Inter's new-look attack to make the difference. One thing is unanimous – Hong Kong is ready for a football feast.
