A certain former Uruguayan superstar by the name of Diego Forlán played for Kitchee in the Hong Kong Premier League and even won the title with them in the 2017/18 season

Fun facts: Hammer Hill has the worst pitch condition of any grounds in HK, known locally as "hell's playground" with the amount of hidden debris and potholes in the grass. Aberdeen Sports Ground has those annoying pillars in the way on matchdays, so when the ground was destroyed and shut down for a few years no one was really complaining.... The opposite bank from the Tsing Yi sports ground is a public graveyard, and there's a common joke about how the older generations in the ground are watching from there. HKFC are the only team in HK to actually have full ownership of their own stadium. And no, they don't race and play footy at the same time, but that's not a bad idea for attracting revenue... HK Rangers was founded by a Scottish expat who was a Rangers fan. Tai Po fc is my hometown team! and sadly, Hong Kong Football Stadium isn't included here, even though its Hong Kong's only football specific stadium, without a racetrack(!) and are used to host international games and occasionally the odd cup game here and there. This is also the stadium for the HK 7s.

Great video! I would love if you could do the Bolivian first division! A lot of teams share stadiums, so there aren't that many but several of them have very scenic views from inside due to the terrain (in the Andean region). Three of them are the three highest altitude top-flight stadiums in the world (Potosí, La Paz, El Alto). There are also stadiums in the amazonic region as well, so the terrain varies a lot.

@@neilwhitaker6284 the way that sports in general is ran there, management (who usually have the jobs based on connections and money instead of passion for the sport themselves) don't see fans as any sort of revenue maker. Combine that with already lukewarm attitudes towards local football (most wonder why watch something so lowbrow when there's the top five European leagues on the telly) only the most die-hard fans, who want something to represent Hong Kong and feel its a part of their roots, would go regularly. Kitchee and Eastern have the biggest fanbases, with Tai Po and Southern having respectable fans as well, being "district teams" with roots in communities. That being said, each active supporters' group don't often go above 20 people, and only Kitchee-Eastern games regularly get over 3,000 people into stadiums. RCFC and HKFC would be lucky if they even have 20 sometimes, and newly promoted SSPFC have been having such struggles on the pitch that often they have less than 5 show up to games, and their management having to offer money to get cheering fans...

Because the cost of land is too much, multi purpose stadiums are the most efficient use of space. All the running tracks are public so a lot of the general population like to do their exercise there as well

@@bryantsteury8910 Possibly. But much like Europe, Aus doesn't have big college/ university sports - the good 17/18yo kids go pro in the various sports. And our high schools are a lot smaller than the US (few schools above 2000 kids). Maybe he could do a video of some of the more impressive Private School grounds (high school tuition fees above US$20k/yr) which can be geographically impressive with water views and architecture, but mostly grass berms and a few small grandstands - but really nothing compared to some of the US high school stadiums. Maybe some of the semi-pro leagues like Rugby's Shute Shield (NSW) or Premier Rugby (Qld) but again not massively impressive from a stadium perspective.

we only have 2 professional stadiums without track and field, as we are a very small country, so that we need to utilise every inch of space. After the new Kai Tak stadium is built, the 40,000 Hong Kong stadium is going to be demolished and rebuilt into a 20,000 seater track and field stadium
