International football competition
The football sporting event at the 1921 Far Eastern Championship Games featured matches between China, Japan and the Philippines.[1]
China was represented by the club side South China AA, who reportedly had beaten East China (Shanghai) for the right to do so: Before the tournament, on 26 May, China (South China A.A.) played a practice match against "a team representing East China" at Nanyang Field in front of 3,000 people, which they won 3-1.[1]
