The Unity Hong Kong Foundation held the "Unity Zall Forum" to discuss the promotion of sports development in Hong Kong.
The Hong Kong government announced earlier that it would expand the sports academy building and set up 300 million yuan to promote scientific research in elite sports.
Huo Qigang spoke at the forum and believed that the resource allocation and development of non-elite projects, such as skateboarding and climbing, should be strengthened. "Invest in early, and achieve success early." In addition, professional training for coaches, international referees, and sports psychology should be strengthened.
He also believes that it is also very important to train talents to serve as key members of international sports organizations in order to increase Hong Kong's right to speak in international organizations. "How much Asian voice do you need to have?"
As for popularization, it is not enough to target the number of activities or the number of participants alone. The importance of sports on campus should be strengthened, and more cross-regional leagues can be held to connect with the Greater Bay Area.
Fok also pointed out that in order to popularize sports, the role of broadcasters should be strengthened. Taking this Olympics as an example, the Hong Kong government purchased the broadcasting rights so that the public can support the Hong Kong team through television.
He believes that the long-term development of "sports+" can promote the eventualization, that is, the synergy effect of sports, tourism or finance, etc. There are successful examples of the International Rugby Sevens in Hong Kong, and Singapore also has the F1 Night Grand Prix for reference.
He also believes that if the Greater Bay Area League becomes prestigious in the future, it will be possible to export ornamental events and form a win-win effect in the export of sports and intellectual property rights.
The International Rugby Sevens held in Hong Kong attracts many visitors every year.

Huo Qigang also hoped that Hong Kong should explore the feasibility of establishing a cultural, sports and tourism bureau. "Shenzhen, the Mainland, the United Kingdom, etc. all have the same approach." He believes that it can help the future development of the sports industry.
He also pointed out that if the Hong Kong government wants to promote the industrialization of sports, it needs to change its existing thinking, "It doesn't cost hundreds of millions to drop it. It has to jump out of the box." At the same time, it also needs to win support from the community and the business community, and consider providing tax concessions. And sports coupons and other measures.
The opening ceremony of the next National Games held in Hong Kong
Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macau will host the 2025 National Games. Huo Qigang hopes that Hong Kong can successfully host the opening ceremony, "but negotiate with Macau." He also pointed out that the National Games has joined mass sports events in recent years and allows all people to participate. He proposed A marathon can be held at the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge to break the three places.
Guo Jihui, a member of the Major Sports Events Committee of the Home Affairs Bureau and founder of SHKP Cycling Academy, pointed out that the promotion of sports events cannot be achieved without the cooperation of the government, the private and the business. More and more organizations have attached importance to "Environmental, Social, and Corporate Governance" (ESG). It is believed that the Hong Kong Government can promote cooperation with the business community in this direction.
Du Kaixian, the bronze medalist of the women's table tennis team competition at the Tokyo Olympics, said that the Hong Kong government has continuously increased the resources allocated to athletes in recent years. She hopes that more universities can provide flexible learning models in the future, which can complement the athlete's retirement plan.
