Funds will be allocated to support team of 700 athletes’ expenses during the Games, including logistics and accommodation

Hong Kong is investing up to HK$30 million (US$3.8 million) more in its National Games team as the city goes all out to optimise every aspect and ensure the smooth running of eight locally hosted events, according to the sports commissioner.

Commissioner for Sports George Tsoi Kin-pan said on Saturday that the Hong Kong venues designated for the National Games had completed test runs and were ready, with the countdown to the 15th edition of the Games in November under way.

“Work in the coming three months will focus on optimising every aspect to ensure the events will be held smoothly,” he added, referring to minor issues such as how to ensure athletes had the most convenient access back to locker rooms after finishing their warm-ups.
