Unlike with previous editions, which happened after the end of the domestic season, the 2024 edition took place during the final weekend of the 2023–24 Hong Kong Premier League season. A potential title-deciding match between Kitchee and Lee Man was scheduled for the same weekend as the Soccer Sevens, leading to those teams pulling out of the competition. [3]
