The Hong Kong women's football team has officially withdrawn from the 2026 Pink Ladies Cup 2026 tournament in Dubai over the safety of players and staff.
The decision follows unrest in the Middle East region in recent days.
According to the association, the team has ceased all outdoor activities and remains sheltered at their hotel in Dubai to ensure their safety. Authorities maintain close communication with the team to monitor local developments and provide necessary assistance.
Hong Kong faced Ghana's Black Queens in the opening game of the tournament, losing 4-0.
The Hong Kong women's team had arrived in Dubai days ago to participate in the tournament and were originally scheduled to return on March 8.
However, they became stranded at their Dubai hotel following the sudden escalation of conflict in the region.
Team captain Ma Chak-shun shared a video yesterday (March 2) to reassure everyone of their safety.
