The Major Sports Events Committee today announced that it has awarded “M” Mark status to the Volleyball Nations League Hong Kong 2024 to be held at the Hong Kong Coliseum from June 11 to 16.

The tournament will feature eight national women’s teams, including Brazil, Bulgaria, China, Dominican Republic, Germany, Poland, Thailand and Türkiye, which provides them with a chance to compete for a spot in the Paris Olympics.

The committee’s chairman Wilfred Ng said the event will not only promote sports development and showcase Hong Kong’s capability to host world-class sports events, but also add colour and vibrancy to the city, bring in more visitors from abroad and enhance Hong Kong’s position as a centre for major international sports events.

“We believe that the tournament will present an unforgettable volleyball extravaganza for fans and demonstrate Hong Kong’s vibrancy and passion,” he added.
