Alex Jojo, a 24-year-old footballer from Hong Kong, has successfully transferred from Tai Po to IK Oddevold, a Swedish club, following his impressive performances in the Asian Games. Jojo played a key role in helping Hong Kong’s under-23 team reach the semi-finals for the first time and is set to join his new team in January.
Before this move, Jojo had experience in Europe, training with the youth team at the Portuguese club Vizela for two years before returning to Hong Kong. After playing for teams like Happy Valley and Eastern, he made his way to Tai Po in the current season. His heritage includes Swedish descent, which may influence his transition to Swedish football.

On his transfer, Jojo expressed enthusiasm for this new chapter: “This is an important step for me and I will do everything to make the club and the supporters happy. I am looking forward to a good season and I feel very hopeful.”
Alex Jojo’s transfer to IK Oddevold represents a significant step in his career following a successful stint at the Asian Games.
