The Hong Kong national quadball team is the official national quadball team of Hong Kong.
History Quadball, initially formally known as quidditch, was introduced in Hong Kong as an organized sport in 2016 when the University of Hong Kong Quidditch Club was established by Lau Kwun-shing and his friends. They were joined by returning players from the United Kingdom. Quadball is based on the fictional sport of quidditch from the Harry Potter franchise.
In January 2018, the sole quidditch club in Hong Kong received funding from its parent university enabling it to organize friendlies with overseas-based teams but still experience struggles in attracting players due to the perceived strangeness of the nature of quidditch.
The club contributed six players for the Hong Kong national team at the 2018 Quidditch World Cup. It finished 25th out of 28 teams in its Quidditch World Cup debut.
In 2022, quidditch's name was formally changed to quadball by the now International Quadball Association. In the same year, Hong Kong guested at the 2022 European Games.
Hong Kong featured for at least two more editions of the Qudditch World Cup, now known as the IQA World Cup in 2023 and 2025.
