賀歲杯的歷史

2008-01-23 5:41 am

The Lunar New Year Cup, also known as the Carlsberg Challenge or the Carlsberg Cup before, is an annual football tournament organised in Hong Kong by the Hong Kong Football Association. It is usually held on the first and the fourth day of the Chinese New Year as a part of celebration. The tournament is called Carlsberg Cup between 1983 and 2006 because Carlsberg was the major sponsor of the event.

Since the 2007 edition of the event, the competition is officially known as Lunar New Year Cup according to the Hong Kong Football Association. This is because Carlsberg is no longer the major sponsor but a mere co-sponsor.

[edit] Early-Period
In the period before and around WWII, Lunar New Year Cup was participated by Hong Kong teams and teams from mainland China. Since 1950, HKFA invited at least one overseas team to enter the competition. Before 1982, there were 3 exhibition matches in the tournament. The first two matches were usually participated by Hong Kong national football team, Hong Kong player team and Hong Kong League XI while Chinese XI played the last match.

[edit] International Competition
In 1983, it was the first time to have a main sponsorship for the competition and the invited team number increased to three. From 1993 onwards, national teams rather than club teams were invited to particpate in the competition.
