Quick Summary

Sports minister Rosanna Law has suggested that Hong Kong Stadium might host major tennis events while Victoria Park’s centre court undergoes renovation. Law believes the stadium already possesses the necessary infrastructure to support high-level competitions and proposed using it for temporary courts and facilities when needed. The plan is still being evaluated, but Law sees this as a way to attract more significant sporting events before the new Victoria Park facility is complete.
