In the local football scene, center-backs are often foreign players acquired by club, as they generally possess better physical qualities that allow them to compete against forwards. Chan Wai Ho is an exception. He managed to establish himself and become the best center-back in Hong Kong after trying different positions in the field.

He always says that on the football field, he wants to do the simplest things, but the simplest things are often the most difficult. Instead of showing-off fancy skills, he prefers to revisit the basics and perfect his techniques.

The life of a footballer is full of uncertainties, such as injuries and the closure of the football club they belong to. He understands that in the football industry, many things are beyond one’s control. However, he firmly believes that there will always be a need for players. Therefore, as a professional footballer, one must push themselves and stay in their best condition to seize opportunities.

Besides playing football on the field, Chan had the opportunity to try new things such as modeling on the runway. After retiring from professional football, he ventured into the real estate industry. However, among all these experiences, it was only in football that he truly felt his passion and a sense of purpose. Recently, he has organized football training courses to share his experience and spread the joy of the sport.
