Latest news in Spanish football. David Silva will return to professional football at 40 years old after signing a short-term agreement with Supreme Sha Tin in Hong Kong. The announcement was made on October 7, 2026, over three years after his retirement from Real Sociedad.

The Hong Kong club has confirmed the signing and stated that Silva will soon travel to settle in, train with the team, and regain the necessary fitness before competing. The contract will be temporary, and the exact duration has not been communicated yet.

David Silva returns in Hong Kong after three years away from football

Silva's arrival comes in Supreme Sha Tin's debut season in the top tier of Hong Kong. The team currently holds the eighth position, with 3 points in four matches in the local Premier League.

The official schedule places Supreme Sha Tin's next match on October 18 against HKFC. Silva's debut will depend on his preparation, so the club has not yet publicly set a date for his debut.

The signing also coincides with the arrival of English coach Tom Ballantyne, who joined the coaching staff this week. The club had previously sought to sign Juan Mata, but ultimately closed the deal with Silva.

David Silva's retirement was marked by an injury with Real Sociedad

Silva's last phase ended at Real Sociedad, where he played his final matches before announcing his retirement on July 27, 2023. He was 37 years old at the time and had suffered an anterior cruciate ligament rupture in his left knee during training.

The Canary had renewed his contract with Real until June 2024 but chose not to fulfill that agreement after the injury. His last official match was against Almería on May 25, 2023, where he played the final minutes of his professional career in San Sebastián.

Now, David Silva will face a completely different phase. His career includes 436 matches and 77 goals with Manchester City, in addition to 125 matches and 35 goals with Spain. He also won the 2010 World Cup and the 2008 and 2012 European Championships.

The immediate priority will be to complete the physical preparation before competing. If he passes that process successfully, David Silva will play an official match in Hong Kong after more than three years of retirement, with October's schedule as the initial reference for his return.
