“M” Mark status awarded to LIV Golf Hong Kong 2025 and 2025 Cathay/HSBC Hong Kong Sevens

The following is issued on behalf of the Major Sports Events Committee:

     The Major Sports Events Committee (MSEC) has awarded “M” Mark status to LIV Golf Hong Kong 2025 (March 7 to 9) and the 2025 Cathay/HSBC Hong Kong Sevens (March 28 to 30).

     The Chairman of the MSEC, Mr Wilfred Ng, said today (March 6), “LIV Golf returns to Hong Kong this year and will take place at the Fanling Golf Course of the Hong Kong Golf Club, which fully demonstrates Hong Kong’s strength in hosting international sports events. As for the Hong Kong Sevens, it has been moved to the 50 000-seat Kai Tak Stadium this year for the very first time. These two events not only highlight Hong Kong’s status as a hub for major international sports events but also contribute to Hong Kong’s event economy.”

     â€‹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.
