The Leisure & Cultural Services Department announced that it will set up an Olympics Focal Site at designated sports centres in Hong Kong’s 18 districts to broadcast the 2024 Paris Olympic Games and Paralympic Games’ competitions.

The focal sites will allow the public to experience the excitement of the Games and show support for the national team and Hong Kong athletes.

The Paris Olympic Games will be held from July 26 to August 11.

The department will hold the launch ceremony of the Olympics Focal Site at 5pm on July 26 at the Secondary Hall of the Kowloon Park Sports Centre.

The programme, welcoming the public to join, will include sharing sessions with Hong Kong athletes, sports demonstrations and participation activities.

Due to time zone differences, the focal sites will be open from July 27 until the end of the Games, with opening hours from 8am to 11pm.

Exhibition panels featuring Hong Kong athletes in the Games will also be displayed at the venue.

Details of the broadcasting arrangements for the Paralympic Games will be announced on the dedicated website later.

A series of Olympic Games sports videos, which feature introduction and demonstration of sports skills by elite athletes, have been uploaded to the website.

In addition, to drum up public support for the Games and encourage active participation in sports, the department will serve as a venue partner to support the JC Fit City -  Active 8 Olympic Sports Live Experience.

This activity will be held during the Games to encourage the public to watch the Games at the focal sites as well as experience sports for free.
