World Stadiums: Kai Tak Sports Park, Hong Kong
Kai Tak Sports Park (啟德體育園) in Hong Kong is a multi-purpose venue for various sports and community events. It is built on the site of the former Kai Tak Airport in Kowloon and part of a larger redevelopment of the area. It is is the largest sports venue in Hong Kong.
History & Capacity
The main stadium has a seating capacity of around 50,000 and is designed to host major sporting events, including football matches and athletics. It opened in 2025. Features include a retractable roof and a versatile pitch system that can easily be switched from natural turf for top-tier football or rugby events to other surfaces suitable for a range of sports and entertainments.
Kai Tak Sports Park includes various facilities for different sports, such as badminton, tennis, table tennis and basketball in the 10,000-capacity Kai Tak Arena. Plans for a cricket arena at Kai Tak were unfortunately abandoned. Kai Tak Stadium and Kai Tak Arena are joined by Central Square with art by Chinese artist Ren Zhe.
In addition the complex includes landscaped areas for both public enjoyment and relaxation.
Miscellaneous
The record attendance so far was 49,975 for the Arsenal vs Tottenham Hotspur friendly in July, 2025. The game was part of the Hong Kong Football Festival 2025 which also saw AC Milan play Liverpool.
The first musical events to take place at the venue were a series of concerts by Coldplay in April, 2025. Other artists to perform or be booked at the stadium since include K-Pop's Seventeen, Blackpink and Twice.

Getting to Kai Tak Sports Park is easy thanks to a wide range of public transport options. If you're taking the MTR, you can alight at either Kai Tak Station or Sung Wong Toi Station on the Tuen Ma Line.
