Hong China Men's XVs take on Brazil this Saturday (16 November) at the Kai Tak Youth Sports Ground in the second of the two-match Autumn International Series. Following Brazil's 23-10 victory in the first match at Hong Kong Football Club, the series is still all to play for – with a points differential deciding the series champions if each team wins one match. You can watch the first match highlights here.
Capacity
The matchup at Kai Tak Youth Sports Ground gives fans a chance to get behind the boys at the first international sporting event to be held at the Sports Park. In future the grandstand will hold up to 5,000 spectators; with this event set at 3,000 due to ongoing operational testing.

The most convenient way to reach the stadium is via the MTR. The venue is just a 5-minute walk from Sung Wong Toi MTR Station (Exit D), with clear signage available in the station and along the route to ensure easy navigation for fans.
