The Hong Kong Games (the Games) will make its debut in 2007. This newly introduced local multi-sports event will be held biennially for participation by the 18 districts. The objectives of the Games are to provide districts with more opportunities for sports participation, exchanges and co-operation with a view to facilitating communication and promoting friendship among the 18 districts. Moreover, the Games will help develop closer partnership among all stakeholders, enhance community cohesion, further promote the culture of "Sports for All" and raise the local sports standard.

There are four sports items in the 1st Hong Kong Games, including athletics, table tennis, badminton and basketball. Each district council will field its elite athletes to participate in the individual and team events and prizes will be awarded to the overall champion, the 1st runner-up and the 2nd runner-up of the competition for each sports item above. Moreover, the overall champion of the 1st Hong Kong Games will be awarded to the district accumulating the highest total points from the four competitions. To roll out this important event, a grand opening ceremony and a closing ceremony will be held in April and May respectively.

From March to April, the Organiser will invite elite athletes from respective National Sports Associations to demonstrate their skills and share their experience of participating in competitions with participants of the 18 Districts. This will serve to help athletes gear up for the Games and boost their confidence. Furthermore, activities including "Making a Guess at the Overall Championship of the 1st Hong Kong Games" and "Casting a Vote for My Favourite Sporty District" will be specially organised to encourage participation by the whole community.

In order to encourage the public to involve actively in the Games and strengthen their sense of belonging to the district they live in, the Organiser will also hold a "Cheering Team Competition" for the 18 Districts. The Organiser will select the cheering teams which give the best performances and best reflect the local characteristics of the districts they represent. Prizes for the champion, 1^st runner-up and 2^nd runner-up will be presented during the closing ceremony.
