A flag presentation ceremony for the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Delegation to the 12th National Games for Persons with Disabilities (NGD) and the 9th National Special Olympic Games (NSOG) of the People's Republic of China was held at the Tiu Keng Leng Sports Centre this afternoon.

Chief Executive John Lee officiated at the ceremony and presented the Hong Kong SAR regional flag to Secretary for Culture, Sports & Tourism and Head of the Hong Kong SAR Delegation Rosanna Law.

Addressing the event, Miss Law said that this marks Hong Kong SAR's eighth time participating in the NGD and its sixth time participating in the NSOG.

She highlighted that the Hong Kong SAR Delegation captured 17 medals, comprising 10 gold, one silver and six bronze, at the last NGD, and 42 medals, comprising 25 gold, nine silver and eight bronze, at the last NSOG. The Hong Kong, China Delegation also won three gold, four silver and one bronze medal at the 2024 Paris Paralympic Games.

She added that these outstanding results not only prove the exceptionally high standard of Hong Kong athletes, but also demonstrate the Hong Kong SAR Government's consistent efforts to strengthen policy support and resource allocation for sports development, ensuring that Hong Kong nurtures world-class athletes.

The Hong Kong delegation participating in this year's NGD and NSOG is the largest to date. It comprises over 280 athletes, supported by about 140 team officials and medical personnel.
