Hong Kong Football Club Stadium, Sports stadium in Happy Valley, Hong Kong.
Hong Kong Football Club Stadium, nicknamed The Jungle, is a 2,750-seat multi-purpose ground built inside the oval of Happy Valley Racecourse. Its main synthetic pitch, laid in 2004, hosts football and rugby union, with an adjoining hockey pitch.
The club was founded in 1886, making it one of the oldest organized football clubs in Asia. The Happy Valley ground has served as its home for many decades since.
The ground hosts the HKFC International Soccer Sevens, founded in 1999, which has drawn youth and veteran sides from Real Madrid, Arsenal and Manchester United; Jürgen Klinsmann and John Barnes have played here. The Hong Kong Tens rugby tournament, started in 1986, is held each year shortly before the Sevens.
The ground sits inside the oval of Happy Valley Racecourse, at 3 Sports Road; there is no Happy Valley MTR station, so arrive by bus or tram. The stadium has 2,750 seats, and the synthetic pitch has been in place since 2004.
The stadium sits right next to the Happy Valley Racecourse, so on certain days it is possible to see horses training on the track just beyond the stands. This side-by-side arrangement of football and horse racing in the middle of a dense city is quite unusual.
