The National Games of the People’s Republic of China (NG), held every four years, are the highest-level and largest national multi-sport event in the country. The State Council announced in August 2021 that the 15th NG would be co-hosted by Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao in 2025, marking the first time that Hong Kong co-hosts a national sports event.  The 15th NG will be held from 9 to 21 November 2025. The opening ceremony will take place in Guangzhou and the closing ceremony in Shenzhen.

The 15th NG will feature competition events and mass participation events. There will be 34 competition events and 23 mass participation events, with the latter covering 19 sports for competition and four sports for demonstration.  Hong Kong will stage eight competition events, namely -

• basketball (men’s U22);

• track cycling;

• fencing;

• golf;

• handball (men);

• rugby sevens;

• triathlon; and

• beach volleyball;

and one mass participation event -

• bowling.

Mass participation events were first included in the NG in its 13th edition held in 2017 under the concept of “benefit ordinary people, make a healthy China”, with a view to providing an opportunity for the public to participate in the nation’s highest-level multi-sports event and thus promoting sports for all.

For athlete selection under mass participation events, relevant national sports associations/organisations will conduct free-of-charge athlete selections or objective technical tests to assess the skill level of athletes, so as to select eligible athletes to represent the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region in the mass participation events of the 15th NG.

The mass participation events have already started in May.  For details of the events and the results of Hong Kong athletes, you might visit here (Chinese version only).
