In news from South China Morning Post:

Birmingham City, the English  Premier League side owned by businessman Carson Yeung Ka-sing, have confirmed that they will be playing in Hong Kong this summer.

The Blues will face the Hong Kong team on July 16 as part of their Asian tour, which includes matches in Nanjing, Beijing and a fourth city yet to be decided.

Birmingham are currently ninth in the league table and still have a chance to qualify for the Europa League next season if they can finish at least sixth. They still have six matches to play.

….

Meanwhile, a squad of three local players will be selected to join City on their Asian tour before following the team back in England for a  three-week training stint in their soccer academy.

The game will almost surely take place at Olympic stadium, though it is unclear at this point who their opponent will be, as it won’t likely be Hong Kong as the article states 3 Hong Kong players will join Birmingham City for the Asia tour following their Hong Kong match. But should be a good time and a rare chance to see some international sport in Nanjing (That is until the Youth Olympics come to town!). I’ll be keeping an eye out for more info on this as the match date approaches.
