Hong Kong football coach Jorn Andersen selected an experienced squad for the two international friendlies this week against Myanmar.

The SAR host the Southeast Asian side at Mong Kok Stadium on Wednesday, and the two teams will play again at Hong Kong Stadium on Saturday. They're the first international football matches in Hong Kong in almost three years.

Of the 25 players selected by Andersen, only the Eastern defender Alexander Jojo is receiving his first senior call-up. Most of the players on the squad were featured at the East Asian Cup in July, when Hong Kong were beaten by the likes of Japan and South Korea.

Hong Kong last played international matches at home in November 2019 when they hosted Bahrain and Cambodia in World Cup qualifying.
