Hong Kong hosted the East Asian Games in December 2009 the first major,

international multi-sport competition held in the city. It provided a tremendous opportunity to showcase Hong Kong's ability to organise a large-scale, multi-venue event and to encourage greater community participation in sport.

For many in Hong Kong,

the defining moment of the Games was

Hong Kong's nail-biting gold medal victory in football – the joy of which is so clearly captured on

the faces of spectators who packed into Hong Kong Stadium for the final.
