The SEA Games committee and the Vietnam Olympic Committee have affirmed that the 2021 SEA Games will be hung on 12-23 May 2022 in Hanoi after the COVID-19 pandemic constrained the biennial multi-event to be postponed from its original schedule, to be specific November 2021. Southeast Asia is going to put on an act with the SEA Games 2021 happening from 12-23 May 2022 in Hanoi, Vietnam. The 31st edition of the Southeast Asian Games features 40 sports across 526 events and relies on the participation of 5,467 athletes from 11 different countries.
The Organizing Committee for the 31st Southeast Asian Games (SEA Games 21) has declared the details of the schedule and venues of competitions for the regional biggest sports event held in Vietnam this month.
Almost 5,100 athletes from 11 nations in Southeast Asia will contend in 40 games for 526 gold medals.
SEA Games 31 will officially start on May 12. Nonetheless, numerous events like football, kickboxing, diving, futsal, or crash will happen before that day.
The Vietnamese representatives attending the games have an aggregate of 1,341 members; including 951 athletes and 250 coaches. They will strive in all sports at the competition and are expected to win at least 140 gold medals to top the medal tally. Specifically, the delegation is determined to successfully defend the top positions of the two men’s and women’s football teams.
On the afternoon of May 6, the U23 men’s football team of Vietnam started the journey to overcome the gold medal while meeting the Indonesian U23 team. The last option is the adversary that the Vietnamese team defeated three years ago in the Philippines to win the first gold medal in men’s football at the SEA Games.
Olympic gold medallists like the Philippines’ Hidilyn Diaz and Singapore swim star Joseph Schooling will set the bar high while world champions Loh Kean Yew (badminton) and Carlos Yulo (acrobatic) will be out to add to their collection of mainland titles.
Include with the mix the likes of Malaysia’s two-time Olympic diving medallist Pandelela Rinong, Indonesia’s next-gen badminton team, Thailand’s Pleumjit Thinkaow and the Philippine’s Alyssa Valdez who will illuminate the volleyball court, and we’re in for a treat of serious sporting action.
We should not fail to remember local hero Hoang Xuan Vinh, who won Vietnam’s first ever Olympic gold in shooting, and Thailand’s Olympic taekwondo champion Panipak Wongpattanakit.
From martial arts wushu, Pencak silat, and vovinam to sepak takraw, muay Thai, Esports, and all your Olympic top picks, there genuinely is something for everybody to appreciate in Hanoi.

Because of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, all athletes and officials entering Vietnam are expected to have a negative RT-PCR COVID-19 test within 72 hours of their departure. In somewhere around 24 hours after entry and of their particular event, participants will be tested once more using fast testing.
Assuming an athlete tests positive for COVID-19, they will be quarantined at their assigned office, or shipped to a hospital in extreme cases. For a positive case tested before their respective event, the NOC could replace the competitor with another. Notwithstanding, assuming a positive case turns up while the event is as yet progressing, the competitor can never again participate and their results will be discredited.
Spectators at any events won’t need to show any negative test to enter. Notwithstanding, how many spectators are permitted at a venue relies upon the local COVID-19 situation at the time of competition.
The opening ceremony will be held at 19:00 on 12 May 2022 (local time) at Mỹ Đình National Stadium. Merited artist Trần Ly, renowned Vietnamese choreographer and head of Vietnam’s Department of Performing Arts, is the chief director of the ceremony. Just 31 competitors from every nation will partake in the parade of countries as a preventive COVID-19 measure.
Every one of the 11 members of the Southeast Asian Games Federation is expected to partake in the 2021 SEA Games. The following is a list of all the participating NOCs.
While Thailand and Indonesia were at first banned from using their national flags because of sanctions by the World Anti-Doping Agency, the sanction was lifted on 3 February 2022.
The 31st SEA Games will include 40 sports with 523 events, for the most part, those played at the Asian Games and Olympic Games.
