Rugby Sevens gets 'M' Mark

March 23, 2015

The Major Sports Events Committee has awarded 'M' Mark status to the Hong Kong Sevens, to be held from March 27 to 29.

 

Committee Chairman William Ko said the event will generate economic benefits for Hong Kong by attracting tourists, and will promote a sustainable sporting culture.

 

He added that the committee gives the 'M' Mark to events that add colour and vibrancy to Hong Kong.

 

The system began in 2004, to help local national sports associations organise more major sports events and nurture them into sustainable undertakings. 

 

The number of recognised 'M' Mark events has increased from four in 2005 to 13 in 2014. 

 

To date, the committee has approved a total of $85 million to support the events.
