National Games countdown begins

August 2, 2025

To celebrate the 100-day countdown to the 15th National Games (NG) commencing on November 9, the National Games Coordination Office (Hong Kong) (NGCO) organised the 100-day countdown event at the Hong Kong Velodrome today.

 

The 12th National Games for Persons with Disabilities (NGD) and the 9th National Special Olympic Games (NSOG) will then start on December 8.

 

Chief Executive John Lee said at the ceremony that Hong Kong will focus on improving the competition procedures, refining service arrangements, strengthening security measures, and conducting final tests and drills for all venues and scenarios, to create a fair environment for athletes and deliver an unforgettable experience for spectators.

 

He added that Hong Kong will leverage the NG, NGD and NSOG as a catalyst to promote the development of the sports industry in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA), strive to provide young people with sports exchange opportunities and work with Guangdong and Macau to chart a new chapter for the GBA's sports legacy.

 

To mark the 100-day countdown to the 15th NG, the 12th NGD and the 9th NSOG, the Hong Kong competition region launched the "100-Days to the National Games All Together for 1 Million KM Challenge" activity.

 

The activity has collected over 22,000 participants' sports distances achieved in various sports activities such as walking, running, and cycling within weeks, reaching a total of 999,900km.

 

Representatives from government departments, athletes, volunteers, partner sponsors and representatives of other sponsors joined hands to complete the final 100km witnessed by officiating guests, achieving the one million km challenge at the event.

 

The Guangdong competition region also held its 100-day countdown ceremony in Shenzhen this evening, with Mr Lee in attendance.

 

To further boost the community's passion for sports and enrich public awareness of the 15th NG, the 12th NGD and the 9th NSOG, the "2025 National Games Fiesta" will be held from August to October across 19 shopping malls and hotspots in different districts.

 

The fiesta will feature the sports experiences and interactive games associated with the competition events of Hong Kong.
