On the 24 July 2007, South China were beaten 3-1 by Liverpool in the Barclays Asia Trophy 2007. Liverpool goals were scored by John Arne Riise, Xabi Alonso and Daniel Agger. South China's goal was scored by Li Haiqiang who found the net by curving the ball from 46 yards into the top left corner.
On the 27 July 2007, Fulham beat South China 4-1 in the 3rd place play-off. South China pull one back after 56 minutes when Li Haiqiang’s quickly taken free-kick was volleyed home in impressive fashion by Flavio Barros.
On November 27, 2008, Hong Kong Red Cross officially entered a charity partnership with the club and its logo will be printed on SCAA team jerseys, extending and spreading humanity everywhere the team goes. The charity partnership is a pioneer between a sports association and a humanitarian organization in Hong Kong.^[1]
On March 9, 2008, an All-Star team primarily consisting of SCAA players (credited as Hong Kong Union) hosted a friendly versus Los Angeles Galaxy in the MLS side's last match in their preseason tour of Asia. The Hong Kong side won the penalty shootout 5-4 after drawing 2-2 in regulation.
