It wasn't until 1994 that the team took its first sponsor, the International Youth Hostel, and with that our first kit,
pink Hang Ten T-shirts. The sponsors choice, not ours!

The first international appearance in 1996 was at the annual Manila 6-a-side tournament under the guidance of the first team organizer/captain we had ever had Italian Mario Agostini. Winning through to the second round was a good start to our International status and a huge surprise!

The Pig and Whistle Pub became sponsors in 1997 and the team coined the name the Hundred Pacers, named after Taiwan's deadliest snake. The snake is so deadly; it is said that a man would be fortunate to walk one hundred paces after being bitten by one. Therefore, the club name is intended to reflect our ability to strike down our opponents.

However, many that have seen us play believe it actually refers to how far our older players can run.

Our international appearances have so far taken us to Manila, the Philippines. The Bayon Challenge, Cambodia. The Phuket Cup, Thailand. The International Far East Tournament, Bangkok, Thailand and to the Macau Invitational Tournament.

In 1999, the Hundred Pacers won our first international tournament at the Phuket Cup under sponsorship from World Entertainment Solutions and DNA, beating the Lions Singapore 2-0 in a one-sided final, goals by Prudencio Garcia and Stephen Ladas. The team made it through the tournament undefeated on the 11-a-side pitch and also 6-a-side in the gym after a storm stopped all outdoor play,
Mario picked up his first ever red card (so he says!) in the group games and Prudencio the (well-deserved) MVP award.

We went undefeated for a second time to win again at the Far East Tournament, Bangkok in 2001, beating the hosts the German All-stars with a flawless display of penalty-taking to win 5-3 after a 0-0 draw, Euan Sweet was outstanding, Bob Hawley ended up in hospital to have stitches put in his head, but came back to play.

It wasn't until 2002 that the 100 Pacers finally achieved success domestically at the Taiwan Fall Cup in Taichung, beating the hosts in the final 1-0 on a Dave Pendergast penalty after a handball in the area to become the first non-Taipei team to win the tournament.

At the winter tournament in Taipei we succeeded in taking 7th place from just 8 teams, mentioned only because of what happened at the very next tournament.

A second win came just 9 months after the first in Tainan at the 2003 Summer Cup defeating the Taipei Animals 1-0 on a Steve Dorward goal, in yet another unbeaten run for the entire tournament under new sponsorship for both victories, the Belgian Pub. Also under new captaincy, with Adi Shard taking over the reins.

 The three-man defensive line-up played a fantastic tournament, Tristram McQuoid, Iain Castle and Andy Roach. Noted also for the longest penalty shoot-out in history at 29 in our semi-final. A flawless display from all the Pacers and a great save from keeper Adi Shard to deny Taichung's captain.

The team is truly international, over the years having fielded players from England, Panama, US, Canada, Italy, Germany, Ghana Belgium, Japan, Singapore, Ireland, Spain, Nigeria, Austria, New Zealand, Brazil, France, Sierra Leone, Norway, Scotland, South Africa, Argentina, Poland  and Australia.
