Alongside the Government’s push to develop Hong Kong’s low-altitude economy, drone sports have been gaining in popularity.

Secondary 2 student Lawrence Tong is a devotee of drone soccer who already has rich drone experience under his belt. He recently joined four teammates to compete in a five-a-side drone soccer tournament at Cyberport.

“I enjoy drone soccer because it helps me improve communication and teamwork, as well as my problem-solving and observation skills,” he said.

The team-based aerial sport involves pilots manoeuvring drones encased in spherical shields. Some pilots act as defenders and others as strikers, and the aim is to score by flying through the opponent’s goal hoop, which is suspended in the air.

Lawrence began learning to programme drones in Primary 1, and was introduced to drone soccer by his extracurricular activity teacher in Primary 4. Now captain of his school’s drone club, he is proficient in everything from drone maintenance to piloting and in-game tactical adaptation.

Drone dream
At the tournament, Lawrence analysed the opposing teams before each match and adjusted the drone setups. In between matches, he checked for damage and had to perform quick repairs, such as replacing broken propellers.

He emphasised that teamwork is the key to success in the game, explaining that if a defensive player is knocked out by an opponent, other pilots must quickly shift positions to cover.

Though his team trailed early on in the competition, they eventually found their rhythm and secured fourth place.

Looking ahead, Lawrence said he would like to study drone-related subjects if he gets the chance.

“For now, I will prioritise my studies while continuing to develop my interests. But if I could pursue a career in this field in the future, that would be a dream come true.”

Nurturing talent
The tournament was hosted by the DNT FPV Drone Association Hong Kong, China, and drew participants from both secondary and primary schools across Hong Kong, as well as other cities in the Greater Bay Area.

The association’s chairman Sky Yeung highlighted that everything about the event – from the competition rules and drone specifications to the size of the goal hoop – aligned with the standards followed by the 15th National Games, currently underway in Hong Kong, Macau and Guangdong. For the first time, the roster of mass participation events at the games includes an aircraft modelling competition, featuring drone soccer, drone racing and indoor radio-controlled air combat.

He added that the Cyberport tournament also aimed to give more young people a taste of drone sports and build their problem-solving capabilities.

“For different drones, how to gain the balance, how to have a longer flight time – these all are related to aerodynamics and also the drone technology.

“So the students need to know how to control the drone manually. They need to modify the drone – for example, the flight time, battery lifetime, ESC (electronic speed controller), and PID (Proportional-Integral-Derivative control).”

He added that these skills have practical applications beyond the context of sports – from search and rescue operations to cargo lifting and pipe inspections.

Currently, the drone association provides drone-related courses and activities to around 150 local schools.

Mr Yeung believes that Hong Kong youths have immense potential when it comes to innovation and creativity, and that nurturing young drone sports talent can contribute to the city’s low-altitude economy in the future.

Dedicated facility

Drone sports encompasses a wide variety of formats besides soccer – drone racing, for example, involves pilots flying high-speed drones through obstacle courses.

Racing drones, also known as FPV (first-person view) drones, stream live video from an onboard camera to a pilot’s goggles and can reach speeds of up to 300km per hour. Accordingly, they require venues with high safety standards, and – as Mr Yeung explained – until recently this meant participants often had to travel to other cities in the Greater Bay Area in order to train.

That changed, however, with the opening of Hong Kong’s first drone sports centre at Cyberport in October. The drone association now makes use of this enclosed and safe environment to conduct drone training and explore real-world applications.

Cyberport Management Company Head of Engineering Services Eddie Lok reported that the facility has received a keen response in terms of bookings from drone sports enthusiasts and training providers, and has already hosted a fun day in addition to training sessions.

“With drone sports now featured in both the National Games and the World Games, Cyberport plans to host cross-boundary matches involving Chinese Mainland teams, and even bring international tournaments to Hong Kong in order to promote drone sports on a global scale.”

With the construction of Cyberport 5 set to be completed next month, Mr Lok added that Cyberport will continue to support the Government’s development of Hong Kong’s low-altitude economy and invest in facilities based on industry needs.

The Electoral Affairs Commission will introduce Designated Polling Stations for electors with specific needs, and extend polling hours, under new polling arrangements for the 2025 Legislative Council General Election.

EAC Chairman David Lok outlined the new arrangements at a press conference today, explaining that they will facilitate the casting of votes and address the actual needs of electors.

The Registration & Electoral Office (REO) will set up 10 “Civil Servant Designated Polling Stations” for civil servants, seven “Hospital Authority Healthcare Staff Designated Polling Stations” near the seven largest hospitals, and two “Ethnic Minorities Designated Polling Stations” in the proximity of Wan Chai Khalsa Diwan Sikh Temple and Kowloon Masjid.

Mr Lok said: “In recent years, we have heard views from different sectors of the community, including the Legislative Council, that electors who have to work on the polling day, due to their job nature, working hours and duty arrangements, etc, may not have sufficient time to, before or after work, or during meal breaks, travel to and from their allocated polling stations to cast their votes. These electors are therefore not able to exercise their right to vote.”

In addition, to better enable residents of residential care homes for the elderly (RCHEs) and residential care homes for persons with disabilities (RCHDs) to cast their votes of their own will in a familiar, safe and reassuring environment, the REO will set up “Outreach Polling Stations for Residential Care Homes” to serve 11 RCHEs and four RCHDs.

Moreover, in view of successful arrangements for the 2023 District Council Ordinary Election, Near Boundary Polling Stations (NBPSs) will be set up in Sheung Shui, as well as at the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge Passenger Clearance Building and Hong Kong International Airport. This will allow electors travelling to and from the Mainland and overseas, and those on duty at these places on the day of the election, to easily cast their votes

Regarding polling hours, the poll will start an hour earlier than in previous elections, at 7.30am, and end one hour later, at 11.30pm. This adds up to a total of 16 hours for votes to be cast.

Mr Lok also conducted a briefing for election candidates on the arrangements, the guidelines on election-related activities, and other important points. to ensure that the poll is conducted in an open, honest and fair manner.

     The Labour Department (LD) is highly concerned about a fatal work accident that happened at a carpark in Kwai Chung yesterday afternoon (November 14), in which a male worker was pressed by gypsum boards that suddenly toppled while he was handling a pile of vertically placed gypsum boards. He was certified dead later in hospital. The LD is saddened by the death of the worker and expresses its deepest sympathy to his family.

     The LD’s spokesman said, “We commenced an immediate on-site investigation as soon as we were notified of the accident and have issued a suspension notice to the employer concerned, suspending the handling of gypsum boards at the workplace concerned. The employer cannot resume the work process until the LD is satisfied that suitable measures to abate the relevant risks have been taken.”

     The spokesman added, “We will complete the investigation as soon as possible to identify the cause of the accident, ascertain the liability of the duty holders and recommend improvement measures. We will take actions pursuant to the law if there is any violation of the work safety legislation.”
      
     To prevent employees at work from being pressed by suddenly toppled articles, the LD reminds employers to ensure the articles are stored, stacked or supported in a safe manner, and to select suitable mechanical aids and methods to prevent the articles from toppling. 

     The general duty provisions of the Occupational Safety and Health Ordinance require employers to provide safe working environments, plant and systems of work for their employees. Those who contravene the relevant provisions are liable to a maximum fine of $10 million and imprisonment for two years on conviction on indictment; or $3 million and imprisonment for six months on summary conviction.

     In regard to yesterday’s accident, the LD will issue a Work Safety Alert through its mobile application “OSH 2.0”, website and email, giving a brief account of the accident concerned to duty holders, workers’ unions, professional bodies of safety practitioners and others, and reminding the industry of the importance of following safety precautionary measures to prevent a recurrence of similar accidents.

     The LD will also remind the employer concerned of the liability for employees’ compensation under the Employees’ Compensation Ordinance, assist family members of the deceased to claim employees’ compensation and closely follow up on the case. For those with financial difficulties, the LD will assist them to apply for appropriate emergency funds. Subject to the needs and wishes of family members of the deceased, the LD will also liaise with the Social Welfare Department for financial or other assistance.

     For the sake of securing the safety and health of employees at work, the LD appeals to employers to provide plant and systems of work that are safe and without risks to health. Employees should co-operate with their employers, adopt all safety measures and use personal protective equipment provided properly to avoid endangering their own work safety and that of other workers.

     The Centre for Health Protection (CHP) of the Department of Health (DH) today (November 14) reported the latest situation of chikungunya fever (CF) and dengue fever (DF).

Chikungunya fever
———————
     As of 5pm today, one new imported CF case has been recorded.

     The case involves a 27-year-old female living in Tuen Mun District. Initial investigation revealed that she travelled to Cuba and Mexico between October 27 and November 10. She developed a fever, rash and joint pain from November 12 and attended the Accident and Emergency Department at Tuen Mun Hospital yesterday (November 13). She was admitted for treatment in a mosquito-free environment. Her blood sample tested positive for chikungunya virus upon laboratory testing. She is currently in stable condition. The patient’s household contact, who accompanied her to Cuba and Mexico, is currently asymptomatic and under medical surveillance. 

     Since the patient stayed in Central America during her incubation period, the CHP considered that she was infected overseas. The case is classified as imported. The CHP’s epidemiological investigation is ongoing, and it will report the case to the relevant health authorities.

     Hong Kong has recorded a total of 62 confirmed CF cases this year. Four of these cases were local, and the rest were imported.

     Regarding the 68-year-old female confirmed with CF yesterday (November 13), the CHP is conducting the genome analysis. The CHP urged the residents in the vicinity of Tung Hei Court in Shau Kei Wan, where the patient resides, to seek medical advice or contact the CHP immediately if they present with a fever, rash or joint pain since October 15. The CHP officers and the Eastern District Services & Community Care Teams have already reached out to the local residents, reminding them to be aware of relevant symptoms and maintain good environmental hygiene in their households.

     The CHP collaborated with the Eastern District Services & Community Care Teams to distribute leaflets on CF prevention and questionnaire surveys to about 3 000 households in the affected areas in the vicinity of Tung Hei Court to remind residents to monitor for relevant symptoms and maintain good environmental hygiene at home.

     This afternoon, the CHP also collaborated with the Eastern District Office to organise a health talk at the Kwan Kai Ming Memorial Chung Hok Elderly Centre of Women’s Welfare Club Western District Hong Kong on G/F, Hing Hong House, Hing Tung Estate. The aim is to enhance public understanding of this mosquito-borne disease and encourage active participation in prevention efforts to protect both oneself and others.

     As of 5pm today, the CHP has conducted assessments for over 1 900 individuals residing or working in higher-risk district through the health consultation booth on 2/F, Hing Tung Shopping Centre, its inquiry hotline (2125 2373), questionnaire surveys and door-to-door visits at Tung Hei Court. Two individuals with mild symptoms have also been arranged to undergo blood tests. 

Dengue fever
—————

     From November 7 to yesterday (November 13), the CHP recorded one imported DF case. The patient had travelled to the Philippines during the incubation period.

     As of yesterday, 53 imported DF cases have been recorded so far this year. A total of 161 cases of DF were recorded in 2024, including 156 imported and five local cases.

     According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the global incidence of DF has markedly increased over the past two decades, posing a substantial public health challenge. In 2024, the WHO recorded over 14 million cases, which was a record number. From January to July 2025, over 4 million cases and over 3 000 DF-related deaths have been reported in 97 countries/territories.

     DF is prevalent in many neighbouring tourist destinations. Indonesia, India, Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam have each recorded over 40 000 cases so far this year. Singapore has also recorded over 3 500 cases. Meanwhile, according to the Guangdong Provincial Center for Disease Control and Prevention, Guangdong Province has recorded 3 209 locally infected cases so far this year. A total of 196 cases were recorded in a week between October 27 and November 2, with the highest number of cases recorded in Chaozhou, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Shantou and Foshan.

     Detailed information on the latest DF situation in Hong Kong, as well as neighbouring and overseas countries and areas, has been uploaded to the CHP’s website.

Continuously strengthening prevention and control
———————————————————

     The Food and Environmental Hygiene Department (FEHD) and relevant departments have comprehensively enhanced the mosquito control operations in Hong Kong since July this year, and this has continued. Among these, the FEHD has conducted vector investigations and targeted mosquito control operations against the imported and local cases. In light of the local case, the FEHD has immediately conducted follow-up actions, including:
 

• carrying out intensive fogging in scrubby areas within a 250-metre radius of the relevant locations to kill adult mosquitoes;
• carrying out inspections of the locations, removing stagnant water, applying insecticides and disposing of abandoned water containers every week with a view to preventing mosquito breeding; and
• enhancing public education efforts through organising health talks, setting up mobile education stations, and distributing publicity leaflets.

     The abovementioned measures will be continued. Furthermore, the Government will further enhance the mosquito control efforts in addition to the existing measures.

Preventive measures taken by the public
———————————————-

     Members of the public should use DEET-containing insect repellents or other effective active ingredients properly to prevent mosquito bites, but the following precautions should be taken when using them:
 

• read the label instructions carefully first;
• apply right before entering an area with a risk of mosquito bites;
• apply on exposed skin and clothing;
• use DEET of up to 30 per cent for pregnant women and up to 10 per cent for children (For children who travel to countries or areas where mosquito-borne diseases are endemic or epidemic and where exposure is likely, those aged 2 months or above can use DEET-containing insect repellents with a DEET concentration of up to 30 per cent);
• apply sunscreen first, then insect repellent;
• reapply only when needed and follow the instructions; and
• in addition to DEET, there are other insect repellents available on the market containing different active ingredients, such as IR3535 and picaridin. When using any insect repellent, the public should follow the usage instructions and precautions on the product label.

     The FEHD also appeals to members of the public to continue to stay alert and work together to carry out mosquito prevention and control measures early, including inspecting their homes and surroundings to remove potential breeding grounds, changing water in vases and scrubbing their inner surfaces, removing water in saucers under potted plants at least once a week, and properly disposing of containers such as empty cans and lunch boxes. The FEHD also advises members of the public and property management agencies to keep drains free of blockage and level all defective ground surfaces to prevent the accumulation of water. They should also scrub all drains and surface sewers with an alkaline detergent at least once a week to remove any mosquito eggs.

     The public should call 1823 in case of mosquito problems, and may visit the following pages for more information: the CF page of the CHP and the Travel Health Service, the latest Travel Health News, tips for using insect repellents, and the CHP Facebook Page, Instagram Account and YouTube Channel, and also the Mosquito Prevention and Control dedicated page of the FEHD.

     The Commissioner for Digital Policy, Mr Tony Wong, visited the Technical Operation Centre of the 15th National Games (NG) in Hong Kong and various competition venues including those for fencing, basketball, track cycling, rugby sevens and triathlon for two consecutive days (November 13 and 14). Mr Wong saw for himself the operation of the information systems and various technological installations at these venues and reminded colleagues that the peak competition schedules this weekend will pose a major challenge to the information systems and technical support work. He encouraged colleagues to continue demonstrating professionalism to ensure the smooth and stable running of all competition events.
 
     The Digital Policy Office (DPO) has set up a dedicated team to fully launch the preparation work for the 15th NG since early 2024 and has closely co-operated with the Sports Information Center of the General Administration of Sport of China and the technology task force from the Chinese Mainland. The DPO is committed to providing precise, stable, and efficient core information and technology systems for the 15th NG, including sensor technology, scoring systems, detection devices, and arbitration camera systems, as well as the setup of network infrastructure to ensure the fairness and smooth operation of the competition events. For the NG, the DPO has deployed over 3 200 devices and more than 20 information systems, mobilising over 400 technical personnel across various venues. A Technical Operation Centre has also been set up for 24-hour real-time monitoring and centralised command to support all the competition events held at the Hong Kong competition zone. The DPO has also maintained close co-ordination with the responsible units in both Guangdong Province and Macao, demonstrating resource integration and joint operations with a strong team spirit.
 
     During his inspection of the fencing venue, Mr Wong highlighted that sensor technology and scoring systems are particularly important for fencing competitions, which demand extremely high precision. Colleagues are required to conduct repeated testing to ensure the systems can provide instant feedback to safeguard the absolute fairness and accuracy of the competition results. He expressed his appreciation for the on-site technical team’s dedication to ensuring system stability and real-time responsiveness, and operating seamlessly in sync with the pace of the competitions.
 
     Mr Wong conducted a key inspection of the track cycling finishing line at the Hong Kong Velodrome to assess the operational efficiency of the timing and testing equipment, pointing out that the equipment accurately captures the athletes’ finishing times. Equipped with high-precision photo-electronic timers and lap time recording devices for athletes, the equipment is crucial for determining race results and monitoring. The entire system, using high-end technology sensor devices and intelligent algorithms, ensures zero error in judgements.
 
     The area of the rugby sevens match field is vast, which results in a massive cabling project and the transmission of images from multiple cameras. These cameras are indispensable equipment in the refereeing system supporting officiating and replay reviews. Mr Wong expressed his gratitude to the working team for their professional dedication as well as hard work in overcoming the complex cabling challenges to ensure that video surveillance covered the entire match field.
 
     During his visit to the triathlon competition venue which involves an extensive coverage area and a very high standard of technical requirements, Mr Wong was briefed by colleagues on the integration of drone operations into the referee system, which provides real-time Ultra HD aerial images and multi-angle views, effectively assisting the referee team in making accurate judgements. This exemplifies how innovation and technology can enhance the fairness of the competition, demonstrating the advanced value of technology in empowering sports.
 
     Mr Wong also paid a special visit to the technical operations centre to learn about the system monitoring arrangements and operational mechanisms during the competitions. He acknowledged the team’s professional attitude in ensuring the smooth flow of competition information and operation, and commended their close collaboration with leading cybersecurity experts in Chinese Mainland introduced specially by the DPO for the NG and their outstanding performance with zero incidents despite facing various complex and ever-changing cyber challenges during the high-pressure competition period. He then encouraged the team to strictly adhere to the principle of “respond instantly, recover rapidly”, and remain highly vigilant and be prepared at all times to deal with any kind of emergencies that may arise during the event. He emphasised that rapid response and effective co-ordination are key to ensuring “zero interruption” to the Games, adding that close teamwork is the only way to guarantee the smooth running of the event.
 
     The DPO will release a series of short videos during the events through its Facebook page (www.facebook.com/digitalpolicyhk). Members of the public are invited to watch and learn more about how information technology supports this national large-scale event.
