Hong Kong’s Major Sports Events Committee has granted “M” Mark status to three major events in August: BOC Life Cup on the 7th, World Lacrosse Women’s U20 Championship from the 15th to 24th, and the Yao Foundation Charity Game on the 20th. These events are vital for promoting sports tourism and enhancing the city’s international reputation.
The Major Sports Events Committee (MSEC) of Hong Kong has proudly awarded the distinguished “M” Mark status to three notable sporting competitions set for August. These events include the much-anticipated BOC Life Cup featuring Kitchee versus Atlético de Madrid on the 7th, the 2024 World Lacrosse Women’s U20 Championship spanning from the 15th to the 24th, and the 12th Yao Foundation Charity Game taking place on the 20th.
The “M” Mark System, initiated by the MSEC, serves as a platform to promote renowned international sports events within Hong Kong. The primary goal is to empower local national sports associations, private organizations, and NGOs to host major competitions that can be cultivated into enduring ventures, thus elevating the city’s profile on the global sports stage.
In conclusion, the awarding of the “M” Mark to these prestigious events reiterates Hong Kong’s ambition to strengthen its place as a vibrant hub for international sports. As Mr. Wilfred Ng suggests, these happenings not only amplify the city’s spirit for sports post-Olympics but also enhance its appeal to spectators and participants alike on the world stage.
