We have been promoting community sports to encourage the public to participate in various types of sports activities and develop a strong sporting culture in the community, helping them develop a healthy lifestyle.
Promotion of sports in the community accounted for a majority of the Government's recurrent expenditure on sports development. In 2023-24, about $6 billion or 81% of our recurrent expenditure on sports development has been used to promote sports in the community.
The Culture, Sports and Tourism Bureau and other government bureaux/departments as well as related organisations, including the Leisure and Cultural Services Department, the Department of Health, the Education Bureau, the Sports Federation & Olympic Committee of Hong Kong, China, the China Hong Kong Paralympic Committee, “national sports associations”, district sports associations, other sports organisations and schools provide a wide range of community sports activities at various levels, encouraging people of different backgrounds, age groups, abilities and interests to participate in sports activities regularly, so as to promote the culture of “Sport for All”.
