Match-fixing controversy

[edit]

The Hong Kong Football Association said that it will seek help from the Independent Commission Against Corruption over claims that the match between Happy Valley and Tuen Mun Progoal on 30 March 2009, in which Progoal conceded four goals in the last seven minutes and lost 1–5, was fixed.[1]

Expulsion from Hong Kong First Division League

[edit]

The Hong Kong Football Association announced on 27 November 2009 that the club was expulsed from the league competition with immediate effect due to default in payments to players insurance to the HKFA. As a result, the club's remaining schedules in the 2009–10 season (sans disciplinary record and which remains intact) have been declared vacant and the players are eligible for free transfers.
