On January 11, Tatler Asia held a press conference to reveal further details about its inaugural Tatler XFEST Hong Kong, and announce its community enrichment initiatives held in collaboration with the Hong Kong government department for Culture, Sports and Tourism (CSTB), and official charity partner, Laureus Sport for Good, to inspire the city’s next generation of athletes and students from underprivileged communities.
Michel Lamunière, chairman and CEO of Tatler Asia, who welcomed the day’s esteemed guests and shared the exciting announcements—including that Now TV is confirmed as the match’s exclusive local broadcaster—was joined by Kevin Yeung, secretary for culture, sports and tourism in Hong Kong; Eric Fok, chairman of The Football Association of Hong Kong; and players from the specially invited Hong Kong Team that will be playing Inter Miami CF in the highly anticipated Tatler XFEST match on February 4 at the iconic Hong Kong Stadium.
Tatler Asia has partnered with David Beckham, president and co-owner of Inter Miami CF, and Inter Miami CF to bring a star-studded football line-up to Asia’s World City for the special exhibition match next month. Not only will this game be a part of the team’s first-ever global tour, but it is also a part of the inaugural Tatler XFEST Hong Kong—an annual extravaganza celebrating the best of Hong Kong as Asia’s World City through a combination of events in a wide range of genres.
“At Tatler, we’ve always been driven to showcase the very best of Hong Kong, and take pride in delivering experiences that not only excite, but also unite,” said Lamunière in his welcome speech. “Today marks a significant milestone for us with the launch of Tatler XFEST Hong Kong. The Hong Kong Team and Inter Miami football match is much more than an event—in partnership with the Hong Kong Government and The Football Association, we are setting the stage for a truly memorable experience.”
