Hong Kong’s Kai Tak Sports Park has been notching up firsts since its main stadium was officially opened in March, and the milestones are set to continue during 2025.
More than 42,000 spectators shared the euphoria of watching the city’s footballers beat India at Kai Tak Stadium on Tuesday, in the first outing at the venue by the Hong Kong representative team.
The Cathay/HSBC Hong Kong Sevens was staged at the stadium for the first time in late March, by which time the HK$30 billion (US$3.9 billion) park had already hosted international 15-a-side rugby at its 5,000-seat sports ground.
Elite-level snooker came to the indoor Kai Tak Arena, which can hold up to 10,000 people, for March’s World Grand Prix.
Here is a selection of what is still to come this year.
National Games of China
Hong Kong will co-host the 15th National Games with Guangdong and Macau from November 9 to 21, with three of its seven medal events – rugby sevens, fencing and men’s handball – to be held at Kai Tak.
The sevens will be held at the 50,000-capacity Kai Tak Stadium from November 12 to 14, after handball takes over Kai Tak Arena from November 1 to 10.
