An international rugby match will be held on November 16 as another test event for the Kai Tak Sports Park (KTSP), the Government announced today.

The match between Hong Kong, China and Brazil will start at 4pm at the Kai Tak Youth Sports Ground, a ticketed and paid event with around 3,000 spectators.

While unveiling the preparatory work for the upcoming KTSP test event, Commissioner for Sports George Tsoi highlighted that no tickets will be available for sale on site for this rugby match and people who are interested in it should purchase tickets beforehand.

As for traffic advice for reaching the venue, Mr Tsoi said that similar to the advice for the first test event held in October, the spectators should travel via the Mass Transit Railway (MTR).

“We encourage spectators to use MTR services, Sung Wong Toi Station to get to the venue. No parking space will be provided.

“The nearest drop off point for taxis and private cars will be located outside Kai Tak Sports Park. We thus encourage spectators to use MTR services.”

The sports commissioner also explained that the spectators will have to undergo security screening before they are allowed entry.

“Security screening and a bag search will be required for access into the venue. Please allow more time and arrive at the venue early before the start of the match.”

The Government will work closely with transport operators and Kai Tak Sports Park to ensure that spectators will have a smooth arrival and dispersal experience, as well as throughout their stay at the venue, he added.
