楊開將

English

Yeung Hoi Cheung is a Hong Kong handball administrator and a board member of the Handball Association of Hong Kong, China who has long served as manager (team leader) of Hong Kong representative handball teams. As early as the 12th National Games in Liaoning in 2013 he travelled with the Hong Kong men's team as manager; according to contemporary reports, when the designated manager, Ip Tai-hoi, returned to Hong Kong after overseeing two matches, Yeung took on the roles of manager, team doctor and coach by himself, reflecting the multiple duties he assumes in an amateur set-up. In 2017 he again managed the Hong Kong men's team, made up of amateur players, at the 13th National Games in Tianjin. At the 2nd National Youth Games in 2019 he was one of the team's managers, and at the 19th Asian Games in Hangzhou (2023) he was manager of the women's team in the Hong Kong, China delegation. Beyond leading teams he takes part in promotion as a board member of the association; at a Greater Bay Area children's handball exchange and national children's coaches' course he stressed that promoting the sport should begin at an early age. Because handball in Hong Kong is amateur and players usually hold day jobs, the manager's role involves squad building, logistics and liaison, a position Yeung has filled over many years.
