[Sports News]Lee & Man qualified for the AFC Champions League qualifiers for the first time this season. The club has planned to move to the Hong Kong Stadium to face Indonesia’s Bali United on August 16. However, because Everton has not been issued a passport for the SAR, Even if Li Wen successfully passed two rounds and reached the group stage, the Brazilian striker can only register as a foreign aid in the AFC Champions League this season, which may cause the club to lose its budget.
Lee Man, who has represented Hong Kong in the AFC Cup twice in the past, will make his debut in the qualifying round of the AFC Champions League, the top tournament in Asia, as the league runner-up in the new season. In order to increase the cost of challenging for various championships, Lee & Man continues to recruit players for the new season. Recently, it has signed Estonian international Ania and Dutch midfielder Paulisson. Japan’s left gate Tachibana Ryoya, Sierra Leone’s defender Shi Sha, and 4 Samba soldiers, Kewaniton, Everton, Pauliano, and Dudu, have as many as 10 foreign players in the team. Although the foreign aid registration restrictions for Asian competitions in 2023-24 have been relaxed from the previous “3+1” (3 foreign aids and 1 Asian foreign aid) to “5+1” (5 foreign aids and 1 Asian foreign aid), it is reasonable Wen will still have 4 foreign players sitting on the cold board. According to the regulations, each club can change the list at will before each match.
Du Du (right), who has just joined Lee & Man, will be able to apply for a SAR passport as soon as next month.
How to choose the most suitable foreign aid candidate for the AFC Champions League, I believe the head coach Zeng Zhaoda also has a big headache.
Everton, who came to Hong Kong in 2015, applied for a SAR passport as early as September last year. In addition, Du Du, who came from Guanzhong Southern District, will also live in Hong Kong for 7 years next month and is eligible for naturalization. After successfully converting to a local player, Lee and Man’s participation in the Asian Games will be even more powerful. However, “Tilu” received a reply from a source citing a staff member of the Asian Football Association, saying that the rules of the game have been set out, and a player can only participate in the same Asian game with the same identity. The period cannot be changed anyway, that is, if Everton and Dudu are still registered as foreign aid before the qualifying match against Bali United on the 16th of next month, they will not be able to switch during the entire 2023-24 AFC Champions League Identity; the same example also applies to Jiezhi’s new aid Zu Liannu, which may disrupt the deployment of the two teams for this year’s AFC Champions League.
