In the past year, the utilisation rates of the Kai Tak Stadium and Kai Tak Arena have reached close to 90%. Kai Tak Stadium has already attracted over 1.8 million attendees, rapidly becoming a powerful new driving force in advancing Hong Kong's sports industry, events economy, and tourism development.
"Our first anniversary is not only a major milestone for Kai Tak Sports Park, but also a moment of pride for Hong Kong. Over the past year, we witnessed athletes' determination, outstanding performances from artists, and the unforgettable energy of cheering audiences. Each event has touched and inspired us.
"As Hong Kong's largest integrated sports, leisure and entertainment landmark, we are committed to bringing the community together while strengthening Hong Kong's connection with the Greater Bay Area and the international stage," said a spokesperson for KTSP.
The centerpiece 50,000-seat Kai Tak Stadium was ranked third in the world and top in Asia for total ticket sales in 2025 just nine months after its debut, according to Pollstar's 2025 year-end stadium charts (published mid-December 2025). Pollstar also ranked Kai Tak Stadium No.5 worldwide and No.1 in Asia for total gross revenue (1.25 million passes worth US$191.34 million). Meanwhile, the 10,000-seat Kai Tak Arena, was ranked Asia's No. 8 in terms of total gross revenue.
"Seeing the Park evolve over the past year into a major sports destination for Hong Kong has been incredibly inspiring," said Hong Kong, China karatedo team former representative, Lee Chun Ho. "Every time I walk in, I can feel the energy. The professional facilities not only support large-scale events but also make it easier for the public to access different sports, whether they're beginners or experienced enthusiasts."
With an expanding line‑up of exciting events, enhanced visitor experiences and an increasingly compelling programme of global attractions, KTSP will further advance the integration of culture, sports and tourism, ushering in an even brighter and more vibrant chapter for Hong Kong.
