The 25
thSEA Games is scheduled to be held in Vientiane, Laos in 2009. This will be the first time the country has ever
held a Southeast Asian Games. If Laos failed to meet qualifications to hold the event in time, the games would be moved to
Singapore. It will also commemorate the 50 years of the SEA Games.
Because of the limited sports facilities in Vientiane, only 25 sports will be in competition. Among the sports will be
missing from competition are cycling, gymnastics, hockey, rowing and weightlifting. The 'games will retain events like
tenpin bowling, petanque, billiards, 'dragon' boat racing, sepak takraw, wushu, Muay Thai and pencak silat, and will resume
the sport of juggling a shuttlecock with feet. The cutback is partly due to the land-locked country - with no sailing,
windsurfing or triathlon and also lack of facilities in Vientiane.
Laos will host the games with a budget of $80 million, with the help of China who is building a new stadium to be
used as the main venue on a 182-hectare lot in the Vientiane suburb of Saythani district. The stadium will be the biggest in
the country and will be able to accommodate over 20,000 spectators. Vietnamese government official has affirmed that
Vietnam will help Laos successfully organize the 25th SEA Games. Under the cooperation program, Vietnam will train Lao
coaches and athletes, provide equipment and 'send experts to Laos to help it successfully organize the sporting event.
