Hong Kong Stadium floated as interim tennis venue during Victoria Park redevelopment
Sports minister Rosanna Law said Hong Kong Stadium could host major tennis tournaments while Victoria Park’s centre court is redeveloped. She cited its seating and space for courts and warm-up areas, while saying the government would seek higher-level events before the new facility is ready.

The South China Morning Post reported that sports minister Rosanna Law named Hong Kong Stadium as a possible interim venue for major tennis tournaments during the redevelopment of Victoria Park’s centre court. The stadium’s existing seating and space for a main court, secondary courts and warm-up areas are the reasons she gave for considering it; adjoining facilities could also be used.
Law’s venue proposal and the government’s event-seeking aim are distinct: she said authorities would seek to attract higher-level events before the new facility is ready, but that aim does not confirm a tournament at the stadium.
