Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao will co-host the 15th National Games for the first time in the event's history, with the opening ceremony to be held in Guangzhou and the closing ceremony in Shenzhen, said Zhang Xin, deputy secretary general of the organizing committee, in a press conference.

Zhang disclosed that the National Games would feature 34 competitive sports and 23 mass sports activities. The majority of events will occur in Guangdong. Hong Kong is set to host eight competitive sports events, including men's basketball, track cycling and fencing. Meanwhile, Macao will host four competitive sports events, such as table tennis and women's volleyball.
Zhang also noted that 90 percent of the venues for the 15th National Games are existing facilities, in an effort to lower costs.
The National Games, held every four years, is the nation's highest level and largest national multi-sports event. The last edition in 2021 saw over 12,000 athletes compete in Shaanxi Province.
