The 15th National Games Basketball (Men’s U22) test event held at the Hong Kong Coliseum today and yesterday concluded successfully, the National Games Coordination Office (Hong Kong) (NGCO) said.
The test event was organised by the NGCO and co-organised by the Basketball Association of Hong Kong, China and the Eastern Sports Club, with the Chinese Basketball Association as advisor.
The test event featured four basketball teams – Hong Kong A1 Division Championship basketball teams Hong Kong Eastern, Winling and Tycoon, as well as the Hong Kong Men’s U22 representative team. The four teams played in the group stage and then vied for first place, with the Hong Kong representative team ultimately claiming the championship title.
The test event covered a wide array of areas, including event operations and procedures, competition organisation, venue setup, sports and prize presentations, information systems, security, medical services, volunteer services and broadcast arrangements.
NGCO Head Yeung Tak-keung said that to ensure full preparation for the eight competition events to be staged in the city in November, Hong Kong has completed test events for seven sports, with the final test event of fencing scheduled for the end of May at Kai Tak Arena in Kai Tak Sports Park.
