Welcome teams from China, Philippines, Russia, Taiwan and Hong Kong to play the Hong Kong Shanghai Alliance - WBSC Hong Kong International Baseball Open 2016.
December 2016Thank you Mr. Andrew Yao, the Honourable President of Hong Kong Baseball Association, for his generosity on bringing in Hong Kong Shanghai Alliance to title-sponsor this tournament. Thanks also go to the Hong Kong SAR Government for its subvention to make this tournament possible and WBSC grants a sanction to HKIBO 2016. Since its inception in 1993, Hong Kong Baseball Association has been promoting baseball with its best efforts under the circumstances of limited playing fields available, yet the passion of the Hong Kong baseball lovers has not cooled down, on the contrary, it intensifies. The Hong Kong International Baseball Open is a mile stone in the Hong Kong baseball development. I trust that the playing skill of baseball players who come to play this tournament will be enhanced and I expect some of you will have the chance to play the Tokyo Olympic Games 2020. So, enjoy playing the games of this tournament and your stay in Hong Kong. Philip Li President of Hong Kong Baseball Association |
