Football at the 1917 Far Eastern Championship Games

Results

While the Philippines are ranked second, since they withdrew after causing a brawl that led to the abandonment of their match against China, it is debatable whether they should be ranked second or at all.
The match was abandoned in the 55th minute with China leading 3-0; after China scored its third goal from a penalty kick, the Philippine goalkeeper ran over to Ding and punched him in the face, sparking a brawl. After the brawl was broken up, the Philippines withdrew from the tournament.
