Lee Wai Tong,teammate of the 1936 edition (and in South China),selected Fung for the 1948 edition. Fung also played in the 1934 Far Eastern Championship Games,as well as a friendly tournament against Portugal in April 1935. [5]

In 1949,along with his "China" and South China teammate Chang King Hai and Hau Yung Sang,he was selected by Hong Kong against Saigon in the 1949 Hong Kong–Vietnam Interport.
