Chan Man Fai (Chinese: 陳文輝; Cantonese Yale: Chàn Mànfāi; born 19 June 1988) is a former Hong Kong professional footballer who played as a midfielder.
Club career
[edit | edit source]Kitchee
[edit | edit source]In the 2011–12 Hong Kong Senior Challenge Shield first-round away match against Pegasus, Chan was sent off for handball, his second bookable offence. He missed the home match as a result.[1]
Pegasus
[edit | edit source]Due to injury, Chan only played four matches for Pegasus, scored two goals and got two yellow cards.
South China
[edit | edit source]After the end of the 2014–15 season, Chan signed for South China. At the time of signing, he claimed that his relationships with the local players at South China were behind his reasoning to join.[2] However, he struggled with injuries during his season there and left the club without making any appearances.
Southern
[edit | edit source]On 7 July 2017, Southern announced via their Facebook page that Chan had signed with the club due to his desire to work with head coach Cheng Siu Chung.[3]
On 31 May 2019, it was announced that Chan would leave Southern after two seasons.[4]
Tai Po
[edit | edit source]On 29 July 2019, Chan was unveiled as a Tai Po player.[5]
Kowloon City
[edit | edit source]In July 2022, Chan joined Kowloon City.
International career
[edit | edit source]As a member of the Hong Kong national under-23 football team member, Chan took part in the 2010 Asian Games. He appeared as a substitute, took a pass from teammate Lam Hok Hei and scored the equalising goal for Hong Kong against United Arab Emirates in the 81st minute in the first group match. Afterwards, he claimed this was the most important goal of his career so far.[6] United Arab Emirates did not concede another goal again until the final when they lost to Japan. He also scored against Bangladesh to give Hong Kong a 4–1 victory.[7]
