2013 Lunar New Year Cup

Not to be confused with AFC Challenge Cup.

The 87th 2013 Lunar New Year Cup (Chinese: 蛇年賀歲盃), also known as the China Mobile Satellite Communication Cup (Chinese: 中國移動衛星通信盃) due to sponsorship reason, is the annual football event held in Hong Kong in Lunar New Year. The name of this event was changed back to Lunar New Year Cup after two editions of Asian Challenge Cup were held in 2011 and 2012.
