HKBU women football team won the first runner-up prize, among nine institutions, in the intercollegiate competition organised by the University Sports Federation of Hong Kong (USFHK).

 

Winning all games at the preliminary round and semi-finals, the HKBU women’s football team proceeded to the final round to vie for the championship. The neck and neck competition against City University of Hong Kong ended with a penalty shoot-out. With excellent team spirit the HKBU team performed very well, but was beaten by only one goal and earned the first runner-up title.

 

HKBU women football team trains on a regular basis and conducts some enhanced training sessions to prepare for upcoming competitions. After the intercollegiate competition, the team members were encouraged to take part in various competitions to earn more experience and improve their playing skills.
