The Village is located in AIA Vitality Park, Central. You can get MTR to the Central Station and follow the signs to the AIA Vitality Park along the harbor front. We will also have volunteers showing participants the way to the Park.
The Village will have a public and a private part. The public section is open to the general public so everyone can go. The private section is open only to GGHK registered participants and supporters. Each registered participant or supporter may bring up to 2 guests when the venue capacity allows. The guest will need to register and wear a wristband at all times in the Village.
Only registered participants and supporters, GGHK invited guests and sponsors can attend the Opening and Closing Ceremonies.
As a participant, you can bring up to 4 guests to watch the Game when the venue capacity permits and the guests are accompanied by the participant at the time of entry. Photo ID will be required for the guests to check in. If the Participant cannot accompany the Guests to check in at the event, then a PDF pass may need to be shown to get the initial entry to the venue. And all Guests must register at the check-in counter to receive the guest wristband by providing the Participant name and account number. Entry will be declined if requested information is not provided.
No, everyone is welcome to participate regardless of ethnicity, religion, age, sexual orientation, gender identity, ability, or background. The minimum age to participate is 18yo. The spirit of equality is enshrined in the Games’ principle of inclusion: Participation, Inclusion and Personal Best.
The Federation of Gay Games (FGG) and GGHK recognise that many sporting competitions are still organised in traditional binary male and female gender categories. In its goal to be inclusive of all genders, the FGG and GGHK clearly see how that traditional binary competition structure can be an obstacle for inclusivity of all.
In line with our principles and values “Participation, Inclusion, and Personal Best™,” FGG and GGHK have developed Gender Inclusion Policy, which aims at optimal inclusion of all genders, whilst safeguarding safe and fair playing ground for all, across all of our sports and cultural events. Please refer to our Gender Inclusion Policy.

If you register for GGHK, you will be given two options. You can register as a Participant or a Supporter.
As a Participant, you will receive access to the Festival Village, Arts and Culture Events, your selected sport, and additional benefits such as discounts at restaurants, cafes, sports stores and more. You will also have preferential access to these venues and organized transportation
As a Supporter, you are registering for the above accesses and benefits, without a chosen sport. If you are visiting Hong Kong to support a fellow participant, it is recommended that you choose ‘supporter’ as this will enable you to follow and enjoy all the benefits as Participant.
