Last updated

Background

The ING Cup was hosted by the Hong Kong Football Association and organised by the Asian Football Confederation's (AFC) marketing partner World Sport Group (WSG).

Format

Since the Netherlands and the United States were in the same group in the Olympic football tournament, they did not face each other in the ING Cup. Therefore, the winner of the ING Cup was determined by the number of points gained from the matches played.

The point system was different from the regular football scoring system. A win earned 3 points, but a point was awarded for every goal scored. A draw still earned one point, and a loss did not gain or lose points.
