“M” Mark status awarded to World Snooker Grand Prix 2025
******************************************************************
The following is issued on behalf of the Major Sports Events Committee:
The Major Sports Events Committee (MSEC) has awarded “M” Mark status to the World Snooker Grand Prix 2025 (March 4 to 9).
The Chairman of the MSEC, Mr Wilfred Ng, said today (March 3), “The World Snooker Grand Prix 2025 has moved out of the United Kingdom for the very first time. Being held in Hong Kong, its scale and its prize pool have reached new heights. It is the inaugural major event after the opening of Kai Tak Sports Park, which not only helps promote local snooker development but also underlines Hong Kong’s status as the centre for major international sports events.”
The “M” Mark System aims to encourage and help local National Sports Associations and private or non-government organisations to organise more major international sports events and nurture them into sustainable undertakings. Sports events meeting the assessment criteria will be considered for “M” Mark status by the MSEC. Funding support will also be provided to some events.
