Hong Kong Super March kicked off last weekend as Chief Executive John Lee officiated at the grand opening of the Kai Tak Sports Park on March 1. Hot on its heels, the city is hosting numerous world-class events throughout March – including the 2025 World Snooker Grand Prix, which began on Monday and is due to wrap up tomorrow.
The tournament brings together the world’s top snooker players to compete for silverware and ranking points, and is being held at the Kai Tak Sports Park – and in Hong Kong – for the first time.
Shaun Murphy, a competitor in the event, expressed his excitement about playing snooker in the city, while his fellow player Neil Robertson expressed gratitude to local snooker fans for their support.
One spectator at the tournament said: “It is a new experience for me. The facilities and equipment are great, the viewing experience is comfortable, and the level of play is really impressive.”
Another audience member highlighted that Hong Kong Super March gives residents the chance to get to know more about Hong Kong.
Feng Huanhuan, a representative of one of the organisers of the snooker event, said that spectators throughout the week have come from far and wide – including the Mainland, Thailand and even Europe.
She thanked the Government for its strong support, adding that the new world-class Kai Tak Arena offers an outstanding venue for snooker. Recognising Hong Kong’s passion for the sport, she said the organisers hope the city’s status as a premier mega events hub can be leveraged in order to host more top-tier snooker events here.
Hong Kong Super March is not just about snooker, of course. The Hong Kong Golf Club in Fanling is hosting LIV Golf this weekend – and beyond sports there is also a packed schedule of enticing music and cultural events for residents and visitors to enjoy.
