Kai Tak Sports Park (KTSP) has concluded its inaugural year as a global powerhouse for entertainment and athletics, welcoming over seven million visitors since its opening on March 1, 2025.
In just nine months, the precinct hosted more than 90 event days, featuring high-profile highlights such as the Hong Kong Sevens, 15th National Games, and sold-out concert runs by Coldplay, SEVENTEEN, and Jay Chou.
According to Pollstar, Kai Tak Stadium finished 2025 ranked third globally in ticket sales and fifth in total gross revenue, securing the top spot in both categories for the Asian market. This performance has turned the site into a major tourism driver; within the first six months, over half of the stadium’s spectators were visitors, providing a substantial boost to the local economy.
Beyond mega events, KTSP has successfully integrated into local civic life. The park recorded over 42,000 community bookings, totalling nearly 100,000 hours of public use for sports ranging from basketball to pickleball. Complementing this activity, Kai Tak Mall reports an occupancy rate exceeding 90 per cent and a 20 per cent growth in sales since its opening, supported by nearly 80 dining outlets, and international retailers like the Liverpool FC Store.
To mark the site’s transition from a former airport runway to a world-class sports hub, KTSP and CGTN released a documentary, Game On, Kai Tak!, on January 3, 2026. The film documents the project’s journey from its 2019 construction start to its current status as Hong Kong’s “home venue”.
