On the afternoon of May 23, the Guangzhou Organizing Committee for the 15th National Games and Special Olympics & Paralympic Games (hereinafter referred to as “the Municipal Organizing Committee”) held a donation handover ceremony for temporary facility services at competition venues and designated hotels for the U-16 women’s football event. This donation covers six competition venues and two hotel facilities, providing solid hardware support for the U-16 women’s football matches that will kick off the games. Peng Gaofeng, Deputy Director-in-Chief and Secretary-General of the Municipal Organizing Committee, Tan Aiying, Party Secretary and Director of the Municipal Sports Bureau, as well as representatives from the Municipal Civil Affairs Bureau, Guangzhou Charity Federation, and relevant departments of the Municipal Organizing Committee attended the ceremony.
Comprehensive Services Address Operational Challenges
As the first competitive sports event of the 15th National Games, the U-16 women’s football tournament has drawn significant attention. KENTEN actively fulfilled its corporate social responsibility by donating temporary facility services through the Guangzhou Charity Federation, covering four official competition venues, two training venues (Guangdong People’s Stadium, Tianhe Sports Center, University Town Sports Center, Yuexiu Mountain Stadium, Guangzhou Workers’ Stadium, and Yanzigang Stadium), as well as two designated hotels. The facilities have been efficiently installed on-site, encompassing the entire process including temporary infrastructure setup, event-day operations, and post-event restoration.
Sports as a Catalyst to Energize Urban Development
Peng Gaofeng stated that temporary facilities play a critical role in the event security system, with their timeliness, safety, and standardization directly impacting overall operational efficiency and the event’s image. He noted that KENTEN’s high-quality and efficient completion of this donation within a short timeframe not only addressed practical needs of the Municipal Organizing Committee but also demonstrated the social responsibility of outstanding local enterprises, setting an example for other sectors to support the 15th National Games and Special Olympics & Paralympic Games.
KENTEN is a local Guangzhou enterprise with more than 80 patented technologies and has won the title of “National High-tech Enterprise”. It has served many large-scale domestic and international sports events such as the 2008 Beijing Olympics, the 2010 Guangzhou Asian Games, the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics, and the 2023 Hangzhou Asian Games. It is a “double Olympics and double Asia” service provider in the field of sports event services, and its products and services are also active on international stages such as the F1 Grand Prix and the Paris Olympics.
Currently entering the 170-day countdown to the Games, the deployment of these temporary facilities lays a solid foundation for upcoming test events. A representative from the Municipal Organizing Committee stated that this successful donation will serve as an opportunity to foster broader social engagement and mobilize all sectors to work together in hosting this major sporting event successfully.
