The following is issued on behalf of the Major Sports Events Committee:
 
     The Major Sports Events Committee (MSEC) has awarded "M" Mark status to the Hong Kong Cricket Sixes 2024, which will be held at the Tin Kwong Road Recreation Ground from November 1 to 3.
      
     The Chairman of the MSEC, Mr Wilfred Ng, said today (October 30), "We are delighted to award the 'M' Mark status to the Hong Kong Cricket Sixes 2024. Hong Kong is hosting this tournament again after seven years. We look forward to bringing in more visitors from abroad, thereby strengthening Hong Kong's position as a centre for major international sports events.
      
     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 granted "M" Mark status by the MSEC. Funding support will also be provided to some events.
