You might call the All Black Football Club โHong Kongโs first African amateur clubโ, but what makes them truly special is the background of the club members who โ as refugees โ have found a new home in Hong Kong. Established in May 2016, All Black FC have been playing friendly games against a diverse range of local teams, including sides from the Hong Kong Premier League. All Black FC believes in
the power of football as a common language that can bridge social, cultural, and ethnic differences. We are all united in our joy and respect for life โ and in the belief that all humans are born equal. All Black FC is about more than just โplayโ: It is a place for learning, discipline, and communication. Through that, the club hopes to make a contribution that refugees have the strength to resist forces that want to exploit their misery, as most of them are still left alone in their everyday struggles for survival. Since its establishment, All Black FC has actively reached out to engage with the wider community. Some of the projects include workshops and seminars at local universities. They also started to set up a network with other ethnic minority teams in the city, with the ultimate goal to have recurring competitions following a common cause of inclusion, tolerance, and friendship. Given the limited resources, All Black FC appreciates any kind of cooperation and sponsorship that could help the development and maintenance of the club. All Black FC is managed under Sports for Life Company Limited.
