"M" Mark status awarded to FIBA 3x3 World Tour Hong Kong Masters 2022 and Everbright Securities International Hong Kong Squash Open 2022
******************************************************************************************
The Major Sports Events Committee (MSEC) has awarded "M" Mark status to two major sports events that will be held in November, namely FIBA 3x3 World Tour Hong Kong Masters 2022 (November 26 to 27) and Everbright Securities International Hong Kong Squash Open 2022 (November 28 to December 4).
The Chairman of the MSEC, Dr Karl Kwok, said today (November 16) that these two events, like all other "M" Mark events, would add colour and vibrancy to Hong Kong.
"The 'M' Mark events showcase Hong Kong's capability to host world-class events and enhance Hong Kong's position as a centre for major international sports events. These events will not only give a chance for the local athletes to compete on home ground, but also allow Hong Kong audiences to enjoy high-level competitions and cultivate a sporting culture in the community," Dr Kwok said.
The "M" Mark System was launched in 2004 to help local national sports associations organise more major sports events and nurture them into sustainable undertakings. Sports events meeting the assessment criteria will be granted "M" Mark status by the MSEC. Funding support will also be provided to some event organisers.
