A refrigerator magnet marking the 300-day countdown.

The first batch of licensed merchandise for the 15th National Games was released for sale Jan. 13, signaling the start of the 300-day countdown to the Games, which will be held in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA) on Nov. 9-21. 

Shenzhen Yazhisen Metal Products, based in Pingshan District, is responsible for producing commemorative badges and countdown fridge magnets. The company has produced three refrigerator magnets for the Games — one for the one-year countdown, another for the 300-day countdown, and the third for the upcoming Spring Festival. 

Each magnet's design is centered around Lingnan cultural elements. The 300-day countdown magnet features the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge as its visual focal point, symbolizing the connectivity and integration of the GBA.

The 15th National Games’ licensed products include over 2,000 items across 20 major categories. More than 100,000 licensed products are expected to be launched before Spring Festival, and sale dates will be released soon, according to Yu Weijian, vice director of the Marketing Department of the Guangdong executive committee of the Games. The Games marks the first time that Hong Kong and Macao will co-host the nation's largest, highest-level sporting event.
