Mai Shaohan

Mai Shaohan had his début for the Chinese Athletic Association as a right-back in the 1932-33 season. In the following season he developed to be a key player. At the 7th National Games in 1935, Mai represented Guangdong and was runner-up with his team. Mai was selected for the team at the 1936 Berlin Olympics but did not play. In the 1936-37 season, his club team split and a group of main players, including Mai, established the new Jiuhua Club in Kowloon. Only one year later he joined the South China Athletic Association (SCAA). In 1940, Sing Tao SC was founded as another new club, recruiting a number of players from the SCAA. Mai Shaohan also joined the club, but due to the rise of Hou Rongsheng, he was only a substitute.

After the fall of Hong Kong in World War II, Mai fled to Zhanjiang. After the war, he was invited by the owner of Hong Kong’s Sing Tao Club to return and play, but he did not establish himself against the younger players and retired.
