Ng Laiteng (Qingfeng), a Macau national team striker, died in a car accident on the 4th (Korea time). He was 21.
The accident occurred on the road outside Macau in the early morning of the 4th. A sedan lost its balance and drove in a guardrail and a water pipe. The front of the vehicle, which was carrying five men and two women, was damaged beyond recognition, and two men, including a woman who was the driver and Ng Leiteng, died at the scene. A total of four people, one woman and three men, were taken to the hospital with serious injuries, but one of them died that night. The age of casualties was found to be around the age of 20. Macau police authorities are continuing their investigation into the cause of the accident.
Born in 2004, Ng Leiteng was a promising player. He joined Qingfeng in 2019 when he was 15 years old, and steadily built his career in the Macau League. In December last year, he was selected to the national team in the 2025 East Asian Football Federation (EAFF) E-1 Championship (East Asian Cup) qualifying match against Guam and played his first A match.

Ng Leiteng's death adds to the regret that Diogo Jota's accident last month is similar.
Jota was killed in a car accident while traveling with his brother Andre on a highway in the Spanish province of Samora. He was on his way to England by car and ferry because it was difficult to board the aircraft after the surgery. Spanish police investigated that the vehicle Jota was driving was passing the previous car when it went off the road with a tire puncture and caused an accident. Rescue teams arrived amid a car fire after the accident, but it was already after golden time. Tragedy just 11 days after getting married to an old partner. Not only his team Liverpool and Portugal, where he played for, but also soccer around the world paid tribute to Jota.
