The 1917 Far Eastern Championship Games was the third edition of the regional multi-sport event, contested between China, Japan and the Philippines, and was held from 8–12 May 1917 in Tokyo, Empire of Japan. A total of eight sports were contested, following the dropping of cycling from the programme after the 1915 games.[1]
In the football competition, China was represented by South China AA, a Hong Kong–based team, while Japan was represented by a team from the Tokyo Higher Normal School.[2]
Japan was the overall champion of the Games following the Philippines, and China.[3]
