The events of the 15th National Games (NG), the 12th National Games for Persons with Disabilities (NGD) and the 9th National Special Olympic Games (NSOG) to be held in Hong Kong were unveiled today.

The inaugural meetings of the organising committees of the Games were held this afternoon in Guangzhou, with Chief Executive John Lee leading a Hong Kong Special Administrative Region delegation to attend.

As executive chairman of the two organising committees, Mr Lee reported on the latest preparatory work by the Hong Kong SAR at the inaugural meetings.

Mr Lee said that the NG next year is of great significance as it will be the first time for the Games to be co-hosted by Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macau.

He added that the Hong Kong SAR Government will spare no effort in dovetailing with the requirements of the General Administration of Sport of China and maintaining close liaison with the Guangdong Provincial Government and the Macao Special Administrative Region Government to successfully co-host the Games.

The Hong Kong SAR Government established the Hong Kong SAR Organising Committee of the 15th National Games last May. With the Chief Executive as the patron, the Chief Secretary as the chairman, and the Secretary for Culture, Sports & Tourism as the Secretary-General, the organising committee will provide high-level supervision and guidance on the Hong Kong SAR's preparatory work for the NG.

Last October, the Hong Kong SAR Government established the National Games Coordination Office (Hong Kong), which takes charge of the co-ordination and implementation of the Hong Kong SAR's preparatory work for the Games and liaison with relevant organisations and departments.

Mr Lee said the Hong Kong SAR Government will adhere to the principle of “simple, safe and wonderful” in organising the Games, making full use of existing venues and the soon-to-be-completed Kai Tak Sports Park.

He noted that the Triathlon event will take place at the landmark Victoria Harbour and Central Harbourfront, showcasing to the whole country Hong Kong's picturesque landscape and unique characteristics.

The two organising committees announced after the inaugural meetings the Games' arrangements, including the schedules and distribution of work among Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macau.

The 15th NG will be held from November 9 to 21, 2025, lasting for a total of 13 days. Hong Kong will organise eight competition events - Basketball (men U22), Cycling Track, Fencing, Golf, Handball (men), Rugby Sevens, Triathlon and Beach Volleyball as well as a mass participation event, Bowling.

The 12th NGD and 9th NSOG will be held from December 8 to 15, 2025, lasting for a total of eight days. Hong Kong will organise five events - NGD events Boccia, Wheelchair Fencing and Para Table Tennis (TT11), mass participation event Para Dance Sport and NSOG event Table Tennis.
