Our
Philosophy 

Our Philosophy

​

The Hong Kong Football Academy specialises  in football coaching and related sports activities. We are all about the quality of the journey and not just the destination.

We believe that Hong Kong has an abundance of football talent but we believe that this potential talent fails to blossom because of a lack of professionalism, an insufficient infrastructure and a fatalistic/defeatist attitude towards elite sports performance- “there is no future through football in Hong Kong”.

We believe in the ability of all young people to aspire to greatness and are committed to trying our best to help them achieve this. If you love football and are willing to try your best to become as good as you can be, you have come to the right place. We can not promise that you will become the next Leo Messi but we can gaurantee that the journey will positively change your life……..

Football is a mirror of life. Life is a mirror of football.
