Our goal is to create around 2,000 positions by mid of 2025, in line with the long-term development of the Sports Park and in preparation for the 15th National Games jointly hosted by Guangdong, Hong Kong, and Macau in 2025. We aim to actively establish Hong Kong’s home advantage and leverage new infrastructure projects within the Kai Tak area to cultivate new economic growth opportunities.

Kai Tak Sports Park will serve as Hong Kong’s home venue to provide unparalleled sports facilities to promote sports in the community, supporting the hosting of international sporting events in Hong Kong, and offering local athletes more opportunities to compete at home. Additionally, we aim to provide excellent career development opportunities for individuals aspiring to pursue a career in the Sports Industry.”

It is expected that the Sports Park will become the main venue for most of the highly anticipated sporting events in the Hong Kong region during the 2025 National Games. During the event period, a significant number of talented individuals will be needed to manage the operation of sports facilities and other related services, including catering, tourism, retail, transportation, and hospitality.
