Association (HKBA) with disclosing an ICAC probe, as well as a coach of the Hong Kong women's national handball team for faking timecard records. In August 2021, a triathlete who represented Hong Kong at the 2020 Summer Olympics stated that NSAs had enough funding, but were not doing enough to identify and develop top athletes to funnel them to the Hong Kong Sports Institute, causing about 90% of qualified triathletes to drop out of the sport. In September 2021, SCMP published an article which detailed multiple complaints against the Hong Kong Ice Hockey Association (HKIHA), from former coaches and players. They accused the association of lacking transparency in corporate governance, as well as conflicts of interest between the chairman and the association, causing the development of the sport to be hampered. Some of those interviewed claimed that they had been frustrated with the association from the 1990s, and that letters to the LCSD had gone ignored. In April 2022, the Hong Kong Basketball Association (HKBA) drew criticism from local basketball players, after local media reported that the HKBA had withdrawn from the 2025 FIBA Asia Cup and did not register a team to participate in the qualifiers; the HKBA claimed that there was a miscommunication issue. Funding Other National Olympic Committees, such as the US Olympic and Paralympic Committee, do not receive any taxpayer funding. By contrast, the SF&OC receives 3 sources of government funding: Arts and Sport Development Fund (Sports Portion) (ASDF) Home Affairs Bureau (HAB)'s funding Leisure and Cultural Services Department (LCSD)'s recurrent subvention According to the Audit Commission, total government funding for 2018-19 was HK$38.9 million. The HAB said that it will increase its funding from HK$20 million in 2019-20 to HK$40.6 million in 2020-21. An additional HK$5 million each year for 5 years (2020-21 to 2025-26) will go to the SF&OC to review the operation and internal monitoring of all national sports association members, designed to review and audit their processes. Organizational structure Members Only the members of SF&OC could send athletes to representing Hong Kong in multi-sports events organized by Asian Olympics Committee or IOC, such as Asian Games and Olympic Games. Hong Kong Sports Stars Awards also only accept those athletes by the member associations. Therefore, some famous sportsmen were unable to participate in the election.
