About 100 young basketball players in Hong Kong will receive elite training over the next two months through the East Asia Super League's Future Champions programme, run in collaboration with the Hong Kong Jockey Club. The initiative comes despite the government's decision last month to postpone legalised basketball betting, which was originally scheduled to launch this year after a bill passed last September.

Why Hong Kong is hitting pause on basketball betting

Many Hongkongers would have been surprised last week that the government was postponing the introduction of basketball betting. It was only months ago that the bill had been enacted by the Legislative Council. So clearly it was a matter that fell within our high degree of autonomy. And the Hong Kong Jockey Club was known to be hard at work preparing for implementation. But listeners to RTHK’s Backchat programme in early February may have come away with an inkling that all might not be well....
