The tournament was also notable for the absence of Tottenham Hotspur's star Gareth Bale. Bale travelled with Spurs to Hong Kong, but an injury he suffered in training meant he did not play in either of Tottenham's matches. Furthermore, the tournament was also notable for the very poor quality of the grass on the pitch at the venue.
