Welcome Message

Dear Friends,  

We are greatly looking forward to welcoming you to Hong Kong, China, for the ANOC General Assembly.  

As we all know, the ANOC General Assembly represents a unique opportunity to bring together the world’s National Olympic Committees, IOC, International Federations and all Olympic stakeholders through our shared love of sport and our common commitment to the Olympic ideals.  

The General Assembly provides an invaluable forum for us to exchange ideas, discuss the common challenges we face, and agree on collective plans of action that will strengthen our NOC family and broader Olympic Movement.  

Since we last convened two years ago, the Olympic Movement has witnessed significant changes, most notably with the election of our new IOC President, Kirsty Coventry. This General Assembly therefore takes on special significance as an opportunity for the NOC family to take stock of where we stand, evaluate the opportunities that lie before us, and chart the course for our future together.  

I am confident that our time in Hong Kong, China, will be both productive and inspiring, and I look forward to meeting you there.

Dear Friends,

On behalf of the Sports Federation & Olympic Committee of Hong Kong, China (SF&OC), I warmly welcome you to the XXVIII ANOC General Assembly 2026. It is a true honor to host this landmark gathering, welcoming leaders from the International Olympic Committee, over 1,200 delegates from all 205 National Olympic Committees, International Federations, Local Organizing Committees for future Olympic Games, and key stakeholders. I would like to thank the trust that ANOC Executive Council has shown to SF&OC. Further, I would like to acknowledge the support ANOC President Dr. Robin Mitchell, ANOC Secretary General Mrs. Gunilla Lindberg, and the steadfast support of the HKSAR Government. 

The SF&OC has been at the forefront of Hong Kong’s sporting development, dedicated to nurturing talent, fostering unity, and driving innovation. Our vision is to build a vibrant sports ecosystem that inspires our community and strengthens Hong Kong’s role in international collaboration. 

This Assembly is more than a meeting; it is a platform to advance the Olympic Movement, deepen international relationships, and chart new pathways for growth. Together, we can harness the power of sport to unite people, enrich societies, and create lasting legacies. 

I invite you all to engage fully, share insights, and join us in shaping a brighter future for sport. Hong Kong is ready to welcome you.

Dear Friends,

On behalf of ANOC, I am delighted to welcome you to Hong Kong, China, for this year’s General Assembly.

We are deeply grateful to the Sports Federation and Olympic Committee of Hong Kong, China and all our local organisers for their partnership and unwavering support.
