We are a group of dedicated Quidditch players and event organisers with an aim to promote this gender inclusive sport in Hong Kong. We represent Hong Kong in the international level as a national governing body (NGB). We have been authorised by the International Quidditch Association (IQA) to select the Team Hong Kong to the IQA World Cup 2018. Originally from the book series Harry Potter, Quidditch is a sport with a mix of elements from rugby, dodgeball, and tag. A Quidditch team is made up of 7 players who play with brooms between their legs at all times. According to IQA, Quidditch is a gender inclusive sport, with rules stating that there can never be more than four players of the majority gender (as identified by oneself) on the pitch at one time. Quidditch upholds the opportunity for people of all genders to play together in a highly physical and competitive atmosphere, which leads to respect between the athletes, regardless of their gender identity. Quidditch is widely played in Europe and the United States, especially by University students. Quidditch is also being played in some Asian countries, including Malaysia, South Korea, and Vietnam.
