Arnaldo de Oliveira Sales (1920-2020) was a renowned Hong Kong sports figure of Portuguese descent. He was chairman of the Hong Kong Olympic Academy and president of the Sports Federation and Olympic Committee of Hong Kong from 1967 to 1998. Under his leadership, Hong Kong athletes were encouraged to participate in the Commonwealth Games, Asian Games, Olympics and other international multi-sport games. During his tenure as the first unofficial chairman of the Urban Council from 1973 until 1981, Sales advocated and oversaw the construction and completion of large-scale infrastructures such as Queen Elizabeth Stadium and the Hong Kong Coliseum. In addition to his passion for sports, he also made significant contributions to the Hong Kong art scene, supporting organizations such as the Hong Kong Repertory Theatre and the Hong Kong Chinese Orchestra. Sales received numerous honours for his public service, including the Grand Bauhinia Medal (GBM) in 1998.
