Apart from six temporary venues that will be set up 15 to 20 days before the 15th National Games, all other venues in the Guangdong province have already been completed, according to the event's organizing committee.

"Of the venues, over 90 percent hosting competitions in Guangdong are existing facilities, which have been renovated, marking the fewest new venues constructed in recent editions of the National Games and the Special Olympics," said Huang Mingzhong, deputy director of the Games' Guangdong executive committee, during a press conference on Wednesday.

In total, there are 105 venues for the National Games and Special Olympics, with 89 in Guangdong, nine in Hong Kong and seven in Macao.

The opening ceremony of the 15th National Games and the Special Olympics, jointly hosted for the first time by Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao special administrative regions, is scheduled to be held on November 9 in Guangzhou, the provincial capital city of Guangdong.

The 15th National Games and the Special Olympics will involve 36,000 athletes from across the country, along with 45,000 event volunteers and 4,000 journalists.
 
Fifty-seven major events will be featured in the National Games and 46 events in the Special Olympics, making it the largest edition of its kind in the history.
