HK7s: The Pioneer & Paragon of Hong Kong Sport Industry
Answer this easy Yes or No test to find out how much you love the sport. 🏉You never understand the rules of game. The only rule you know is to cheer and shout whenever some action is on on the field. 👹It's your first haka. I mean, "mentally" you follow All Blacks' eyes widening, tongue poking (and you are a lady), arm and thigh slapping, and foot stomping, uncontrollably. 🥳You think rugby sevens was created by Hong Kong.

那些年的賀歲盃
在香港過農曆新年,除了拜年𢭃利是,還有什麼節目?在體育界,當然就是賀、歲、波! 賀歲波(賀歲足球賽),可謂香港不成文的新春例牌必看,最早可追溯至 1908 年的賀歲盃暨滬酒盃,當時由香港足球會(及香港服務業聯隊)vs 上海足球會,最終香港隊 3:0 贏得冠軍。這場賽事,亦是香港足球史上歷史最悠久的賽事之一!早期的賀歲盃大多是表演賽或埠際賽,至 1980 年代香港經濟起飛,慢慢加入了商業贊助;後來又經歷了由足總舉辦邀請賽、由球會承辦協辦和疫情中斷等不同年代。2024 年起,賀歲盃由富衛保險贊助,改以經典的球員表演賽形式復辦,由香港明星隊迎戰世界明星隊。 富衛保險於 2024 年舉辦疫情後首場賀歲盃,更邀得香港和國際球壇最頂尖退役球星坐陣,吸引二萬名觀眾入場,場面之轟動一時無兩。(圖:體路) 睇波,不是波牛的專利。 賀歲波這個新春傳統,早就化身成一場聯誼活動。隨着戰情熱血推進,那份一起為球隊打氣加油、大聲 D⋯⋯喝(倒)彩叫個盡興的熱鬧,唯有親身坐上觀眾席,親眼望着那綠茵草地,親耳聽到時不時爆出的歡呼,才能感受得到!!!在沒有網上娛樂的日子,更有不

Pickleball「混血」運動成港人新寵?
2025 年最炙手可熱運動 Pickleball 殺到香港!「匹克球」巧妙融合羽毛球🏸、網球🎾和乒乓球🏓,不但好玩還老少咸宜,近年以驚人速度從美國傳遍全球;香港也正乘風踏上這巨浪,大家是時候拉定筋迎接匹克熱潮! 從後園遊戲到國際賽場:匹克球的華麗變身 Pickleball 的誕生故事,儼如巨星入行一樣「無心插柳」——1965 年,美國前華盛頓州副州長 Joel McFee Pritchard 與兩位朋友及各人的孩子,想打羽毛球卻找不到球,於是就利用 paddleball 木拍(美國一種類似乒乓球拍的球拍)和 wiffle ball 膠球(美國一種變化自棒球的空心球),並將球網調低至打網球那樣,即興發明了這項運動。據 Pritchard 妻子 Joan 所講,「Pickleball」這個名稱,源自她有次說起這運動令她聯想到「Pickle Boat」(划艇術語,意指由其他隊沒選中的槳手所湊成的隊伍,有點近乎廣東話中「雜牌軍」意味)。 一如其名,Pickleball 這項運動的確集眾家之長:採用雙打 羽毛球 場,但通常都是雙打制(每人走動空間較單

I think most football fans would remember what happened the night at Istanbul on 25 MAY 2005.

But no game says LFC spirit like this Final. Trailing 3-0 at halftime against a Milan side featuring Maldini, Pirlo, and Shevchenko, the Reds staged an unthinkable comeback. Gerrard’s header,

大谷一個手勢讓品牌賺翻!原來運動行銷可咁玩
最近Dodgers的比賽出現了一個有趣的現象:每當球員擊出安打,他們都會不約而同地做出一個標誌性動作——兩根手指在臉前瀟灑一劃。這個看似簡單的慶祝手勢,背後卻藏著一段令人捧腹的故事。原來,這是隊友們在「調戲」大谷翔平,模仿他代言的KOSE化妝品廣告中的招牌pose! 誰能想到,一個化妝品廣告動作,竟然在棒球場上掀起了一陣模仿旋風?KOSE這次真是躺著也賺錢!原本只是在電視上播放的廣告內容,現在不僅成為大聯盟球員的勝利手勢,更在球迷間引發模仿熱潮,連體育媒體都爭相報導。這種"買一送N"的行銷效果,簡直讓其他品牌羡慕到流口水。 這個手勢之所以能火遍全網,關鍵在於它的「魔性三要素」:簡單易學、自帶故事性、具有傳播基因。 比起那些複雜的慶祝舞蹈,兩根手指一劃的動作簡單到連小朋友都能立即模仿。更妙的是,這個動作背後還有隊友們惡搞大谷的溫馨故事,讓它在傳播過程中不斷被賦予新的情感內涵。 其實在運動行銷史上,這樣的成功案例比比皆是。Michael Jordan的「吐舌扣籃」成為Nike的經典標誌,Stephen Curry的「晚安手勢」被無數小朋友模仿,現在大
