About Laureus

ABOUT LAUREUS


Born the wider Laureus vision that sport has the power to change the world, Laureus Sport for Good Hong Kong exists to help children and young people in Hong Kong access the social, emotional and developmental benefits that well-designed sport programmes can unlock.
Granted Section 88 status in Hong Kong at the end of 2024, we work within the global Laureus network combining international expertise with deep local understanding to deliver solutions that respond to the realities facing young people in Hong Kong today.

We believe sport is not the end goal. It is the tool. When delivered with intention, sport can create safe relationships, build confidence and belonging, strengthen wellbeing, and open pathways to opportunity. That is why Laureus HK supports not only programmes themselves, but also the organisations, evidence and partnerships needed to make them stronger.

“Sport has taught me that everyone has a purpose and that you often learn the most about who you are when you fail and choose to get back up again. When young people build self-belief, search for the positives in tough moments and feel proud of what they can do, sport stops being just a game — it becomes a force for confidence, resilience and belonging.”
