Hong Kong coach Gary White has announced his 30-man preliminary squad ahead of his first competitive games in charge.
The representative team will play Mongolia, North Korea and hosts Taiwan in November as they look to take the remaining place in the East Asian Football Federation championship in South Korea next year.
Oxford United’s Dai Wai-tsun, better known as Tsun Dai, returns to the fold after missing out on the games against Thailand and Indonesia as he was returning from injury.

He is one of nine players from outside of the Hong Kong Premier League, along with Brian Fok, who also missed out last time as his Portuguese club would not release him.
White has picked six China-based players alongside Sandro of Indonesian side PSM Massakar, who is also included.
