This afternoon (the 11th), the Organizing Committee of the 15th National Games of China held a press conference in Guangzhou. It was announced at the conference that the 15th National Games of China will be held from November 9 to 21, 2025 in Guangdong, Hong Kong, and Macao. Guangzhou City will host the opening ceremony, and Shenzhen City will host the closing ceremony.

Zhang Xin, Director of the State General Administration of Sport's Competitive Sports Department, said that the 15th National Games is the largest, highest-level, and most influential comprehensive sports event hosted by Guangdong, Hong Kong, and Macao. It is also the first time that Hong Kong and Macao have hosted a National Games, which has far-reaching influence and great significance.

Zhang Xin introduced that the 15th National Games is divided into competitive competitions and mass events. Among them, the competitive competitions have 34 major events and 401 minor events, and the mass events have 23 major events and 166 minor events. The 15th National Games adheres to strict economy and opposes extravagance and waste. About 90% of the venues hosting competitions are existing venues. It is the National Games with the fewest new venues in recent years, effectively reducing the cost of hosting competitions and achieving frugal hosting competitions.
