7 Hong Kong women’s footballers on the game, fashion and how the two mix
With the Fifa World Cup 2026 under way, we asked players from a prominent Hong Kong women’s team about fashion, and the professionals that inspire them – from Lionel Messi to Mia Hamm
As the spotlight falls on football culture and what players wear on and off the pitch, we dropped in on seven amateur female players at the Hong Kong Football Club to talk style, sport and the sisterhood that draws them to the game.

What first drew you to football, and what has kept you hooked?
It was my father who took me to my first football match.
I play as a winger or forward, so I’m responsible for attacking. Because I’m tall, there was a time when I was put in as a goalkeeper. But I knew what really got me hooked on football was the feeling when I scored.
Did you have a football role model growing up?
Someone I look up to is the legendary captain of the Hong Kong women’s football team, Chan Wing-sze.
