Join hands with the Greater Bay Area to move towards the future. On April 20, the 2024 Shatou Street "Concentric Cup" Shenzhen-Hong Kong-Macao Youth Basketball Tournament with the theme of "Concentric Competition, Win-win Cooperation" was successfully held at the Xicai Cultural Stadium in Futian District. A total of more than 130 players from 8 teams, composed of Hong Kong Z-Challenger Baxiang Basketball Team, Hong Kong HK21 Jinsheng Basketball Team, Joint Stock Company Team, and Street Organ Team, galloped on the court, and carried out a collision of "speed" and "passion" on the basketball court with a competitive chasing attitude.
To meet friends with the ball and jointly promote the integrated development of the three places
Zheng Qiwu, Deputy Secretary of the Party Working Committee and Director of the Office of Shatou Street, Liang Mingjian, Member of the Yuen Long District Council of Hong Kong, Huang Guowei, Member of the Futian District CPPCC, and Huang Yuri, General Manager of Shangsha Industrial Co., Ltd., attended the "Kick-off Ceremony" ceremony.

As the referee's whistle sounded, the game officially began, and the players of each team chased after each other, cooperating with each other, and the score rose alternately in the fierce competition. In the end, the Hong Kong 21 Jinsheng basketball team won the championship with its superb skills and perfect coordination, the Shawei stock basketball team won the runner-up, and the Hong Kong Z-Challenger Ba Xiang basketball team and the Xiasha stock basketball team ranked third and third place respectively.
Leveraging our advantages to draw a "concentric circle" in the Greater Bay Area
As a key point connecting Shenzhen and Hong Kong, Shatou Street has nearly 10,000 permanent residents of Hong Kong and Macao, and its unique geographical location and abundant resources provide a unique platform for exchanges and cooperation among young people in Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao. The magnetic attraction effect of industrial clusters, the profound heritage of cultural inheritance, the convenience of transportation network, the quality of space resources, the quality of policy environment, and the support of five local joint-stock companies form a solid foundation for promoting youth exchanges and cooperation among the three places. In this context, the "Tongxin Cup" series of sports events in Shatou Street came into being.
Cohesion and establishment of a long-term communication mechanism
Following the successful hosting of the 2023 "Concentric Cup" Shenzhen-Hong Kong-Macao Youth Football Match in Shatou Street in October last year, this basketball game is another event for young people from the three places to participate in the grand event. Basketball is a popular sport for young people in Shenzhen, Hong Kong and Macao, and Shatou Street not only effectively connects the youth of Shenzhen, Hong Kong and Macao, strengthens the exchange practice of young people in Shenzhen, Hong Kong and Macao, but also builds a normalized communication bridge between Shatou Street and all walks of life in Hong Kong and Macao.
In the future, Shatou Street will give full play to its own advantages, build bridges and connect more in deepening cooperation and exchanges between Shenzhen, Hong Kong and Macao, attract talents and gather resources in strengthening innovation and creation, open up a new situation for the in-depth cooperation of various industries in the three places, and contribute to the new journey of promoting the construction of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.
