The Major Sports Events Committee (MSEC) has awarded "M" Mark status to the LI-NING Hong Kong Open Badminton Championships 2025 part of the HSBC BWF World Tour Super 500, which will be held from September 9 to 14 at the Hong Kong Coliseum.
The Chairman of the MSEC, Mr Wilfred Ng, said today (September 2), "This world-class event, gathering Olympic medallists and badminton elites from around the globe, will attract many local, overseas and Mainland badminton enthusiasts, thereby promoting tourism and boosting the economy. I believe that the Hong Kong China team will give their best on home ground and strive for excellent results."
The "M" Mark System aims to encourage and help local National Sports Associations and private or non-government organisations to organise more major international sports events and nurture them into sustainable undertakings. Sports events meeting the assessment criteria will be considered for "M" Mark status by the MSEC. Funding support will also be provided to some events. The "M" Mark System aims to promote the development of major sports events, cultivate a sustainable sporting culture, enhance Hong Kong's image as a centre for major international sports events and bring tangible economic benefits to our community.
