為慶祝本會成立100週年，本會特別邀請應屆世界盃亞軍南美勁旅阿根廷來港獻技，與代表隊作一場友誼表演賽，藉此交流兩地的足球運動，增進兩地的體育聯 繫。集本地多支超級聯賽隊伍之精英與及獲得兩名在內地征戰聯賽之科夫及聶凌峰歸隊所組成的代表隊，好手雲集，實力雄厚，陣容鼎盛

南美勁旅今屆世界盃決賽戰至加時以0:1不敵德國屈居亞軍的阿根廷國家隊，今仗應邀來港在香港大球場亮相與球迷會面，並與香港代表隊競技。擁有鑽石級陣容 的阿根廷國家隊於周日抵港，23名成員中有10名球員曾於世界盃決賽中上陣，當中以隊長美斯、馬斯查蘭奴、羅美路、加高、阿古路、迪馬利亞等最具盛名，他 們除了腳法優秀之外，亦能獨當一面，踢法相當全面且能配合球隊的需要。

由美斯、阿古路和希古恩所組成的一條黃金鋒線，更是無堅不摧，他們的快速滲入，擅於把握埋門機會和準繩的射門，為球隊帶來不少斬穫。今仗面對主隊的密集式 防守，相信不易阻撓他們如水銀瀉地的進攻。代表國家隊上陣超過100次的馬斯查蘭奴在中場負起領軍的重任，帶動球隊的攻守節奏。至於由迪米捷利斯、盧祖、 薩巴列達、費南迪斯等組成的一條防線十分穩健，有足夠的力量破壞主隊的攻勢，而門將一職，將由效力森多利亞的羅美路擔任正選。

Roger Federer won his first Shanghai Rolex Masters crown, his 23rd ATP Masters 1000 and his 81st career title when he defeated Gilles Simon 7-6, 7-6. He will also move back to the world No.2 ranking

There are not many occasions these days when Roger Federer wins a tournament for the first time but the Swiss was celebrating his maiden Shanghai Rolex Masters title.

Federer, who beat France’s Gilles Simon 7-6 (6), 7-6 (2), is hugely popular in China and his delight at rewarding his army of fans was evident at the end of a match that was tight throughout.

Federer won the Tennis Masters Cup twice when it was staged here, but since the Qi Zhong Tennis Center started hosting the Masters 1000 tournament in 2009 his best result had come in 2010, when he finished runner-up to Andy Murray.

However, the 33-year-old Swiss, who was the second oldest player in the tournament, has played like a man on a mission ever since he saved five match points in his opening encounter with Leonardo Mayer.
