2025 SEA Games

The 2025 SEA Games (Thai: กีฬาซีเกมส์ 2025, RTGS: Kila Si Kem 2025, pronounced [kiː˧.laː˧.siː˧.keːm˧.sɔːŋ˩˩˦.pʰan˧.jiː˥˩.sip̚˨˩.haː˥˩]), officially the 33rd SEA Games, or the 2025 Southeast Asian Games and also known as Thailand 2025, is an upcoming international multi-sport event sanctioned by the Southeast Asian Games Federation (SEAGF), scheduled to be held from 9 to 20 December 2025 in Thailand with Bangkok Metropolitan Region, Chonburi, and Songkhla as their main host cities.[1] The joint bid from the three cities was awarded the Games on 13 January 2023, after Thailand was confirmed as the host country by the Southeast Asian Games Federation (SEAGF). It was the first time that the host cities were selected to host the Southeast Asian Games through a new bidding and election process.

This will be the seventh SEA Games in Thailand, the fifth for Bangkok (previously hosted the 1959 SEAP Games, the 1967 SEAP Games, the 1975 SEAP Games, and the 1985 SEA Games), and the first hosted in Chonburi and Songkhla as main host cities.

Host selection

[edit]

As per SEA Games traditions, hosting duties are rotated among the SEA Games Federation (SEAGF) member countries. Each country is assigned to host the event in a predetermined year, but the country could choose to withdraw or not host that edition.[2]

2019 disruption

[edit]

On 21 July 2017, the Philippine Sports Commission (PSC) announced that it was withdrawing its support for the Philippine hosting of the 2019 SEA Games saying that the government decided to reallocate funds meant for hosting to the rehabilitation efforts of Marawi which was left devastated following the Marawi crisis.[3][4] and it was later reported that the POC's insistence on handling all matters of the hosting; finance, security and the conduct of the Games as it did for the 2005 SEA Games led to the PSC's withdrawal of support.[5]

On 10 August 2017, Maj. Gen. Charouck Arirachakaran, the vice president and secretary general of the National Olympic Committee of Thailand (NOCT) stated that Thai prime minister Prayut Chan-o-cha agreed on the 2019 Games replacement plan after the Philippine's withdrawal. The candidates were Chiang Mai, Chonburi and Songkhla.[6]

Six days later, the Philippines, through the Philippine Olympic Committee president Peping Cojuangco, confirmed that the country would host the 2019 Games, after Cojuangco wrote Philippine president Rodrigo Duterte and appealed for reconsideration.[7]

2025 confirmation

[edit]

In December 2021, Thailand was nominated as the host country for the 2025 SEA Games at the SEAGF Council and Executive Board Meetings in Hanoi, Vietnam.[8][9][10] Five months later, SEAGF Council and Executive Board officially announced that Thailand will be the host country for the event in 2025, and initially nominated Bangkok as the host city. In addition, Malaysia and Singapore were confirmed as host countries for the 2027 and 2029 editions.[11][12]

After the confirmation, this marked the seventh time that Thailand had hosted the SEA Games. Its capital city, Bangkok staged the inaugural SEAP Games in 1959, and again in 1967, 1975, and 1985; when the games itself had already become known as the SEA Games. However, both the 1995 and 2007 editions were taken place in the Thai provinces of Chiang Mai and Nakhon Ratchasima respectively.

Bidding and election

[edit]

On 11 October 2022, Dato Seri Chaipak Siriwat, the vice president of the National Olympic Committee of Thailand (NOCT) revealed the framework of the bidding process that the host cities/provinces should expend for the games at a budget-friendly cost, and they don't have a requirement to build venues anymore. Unlike 2019 and 2021 editions that their competition venues were spread over 23 and 12 cities respectively, the possible number of host cities for the games should be limited to 3 or 4.[13]

Eight bidding parties from twelve cities/provinces interested in hosting the games were nominated by Prachum Boontiem, the vice governor of the Sports Authority of Thailand (SAT), in October 2022. Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Nakhon Ratchasima, and Songkhla were submitted as sole bids, while Bangkok, Chonburi, Songkhla, Krabi, Phuket, Trang, Amnat Charoen, Sisaket, Ubon Ratchathani, and Yasothon were submitted as projects to bidding provinces.[14][15][16] Although the bidding process was started in October 2022, some bidding parties were revealed their bidding campaigns earlier: Ubon Ratchathani in April 2016,[17][18] Chonburi in January 2019,[19] and Krabi/Phuket/Trang in February 2021.[20]

Three provinces: Bangkok Metropolitan Region, Chonburi Province, and Songkhla Province were chosen to host the 33rd SEA Games and Nakhon Ratchasima Province were awarded the 13th ASEAN Para Games respectively by the Sports Authority of Thailand (SAT) on 13 January 2023 and approved by the Cabinet of Thailand in February 2023.[21][22][23] The four hosting cities were the first on to host the SEA Games history chosen through a bidding process.

Branding and design

[edit]

The award ceremony for the logo, motto, and mascot competitions of the 33rd SEA Games and the 13th ASEAN Para Games took place at the Chaloem Phrakiat Building in Bangkok on 23 November 2023.[24]

The logo of the games is inspired by pla kat, or Siamese fighting fish, Thailand's national aquatic animal.[25] It was designed by Rueangwit Phuttharaporn. The mascot of the games is a Waree Kunchorn holding a torch. Waree Kunchorn is a mythical animal that lived in the Himmapan Forest.[26] It has the entire body of an elephant with some body parts like a fish, such as fins along the backbone, leg fins attached to each of the four legs, and a fish tail. He was created by Tawich Jitthiang. "Amity of ASEAN" is a winning slogan by Phonchit Sachaiyan.

Handover ceremony

[edit]

As per tradition, the handover ceremony of the SEAGF flag and artistic performance of the 2025 SEA Games were held at the closing ceremony of the 2023 SEA Games in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. These were held on 17 May 2023 at the Morodok Techo National Stadium.

First, the SEAGF flag was passed from Vath Chamroeun, the secretary general of the Cambodia SEA Games Organizing Committee (CAMSOC), Thong Khon, the president of the National Olympic Committee of Cambodia (NOCC) and Tea Banh, the chairman of the CAMSOC to Prawit Wongsuwan, the president of the National Olympic Committee of Thailand (NOCT) and Gongsak Yodmani, the governor of the Sports Authority of Thailand (SAT). Chaiyapak Siriwat, the vice president of the NOCT, Cherdkiat Atthakor, the Thai ambassador to Cambodia, Chadchart Sittipunt, the governor of Bangkok, Niti Wiwatwanich, the deputy governor of Chonburi province, Jesada Jitrat, the governor of Songkhla province, Natt Intracharoen, the vice secretary general of the NOCT and Prachum Boonthiam, the deputy governor of the SAT were also the delegate for the handover ceremony. This is followed by the raising of the flag of Thailand and the playing of its national anthem.[27][28][29]

The artistic performance of this segment is called "Sawasdee SEA Games", which means "Hello SEA Games" in Thai language.[30] It was performed by the contemporary Thai dancing and art acting Kid Buaksib, who was the six finalist of the Thailand's Got Talent seasons 1 and 2.[31][32]

Following the host selection, the Sports Authority of Thailand (SAT) initially announced that the Games would feature forty-three sports, according to the Games charter.

SEA Games Charter and Rules amendment

[edit]

Over the years, the SEA Games program have been criticized as a gold-medal mine for host countries, as these countries were free to cut Olympic and Asian Games sports disadvantageous for them, while adding non-Olympic sports or non-Olympic events favorable to them. In some extreme cases obscure sports were chosen to give more chances for them win medals.[40][41][42][43][44][45][46] It was the vulnerability of the Southeast Asian Games Federation (SEAGF) and the SEAGF Charter and Rules that granted too much power to each host country.[47][48]

To avoid this bizarre situations in recent games, Thailand during the 2013 edition proposed a series of amendments to the SEAGF Charter and Rules in section 34.[49] Although the Charter and Rules had been amended for many occasions since then, host countries were still allowed to allocate their optional sports program without control by the SEAGF.[50] Buf to the controversy surrounding the sports program of the recent editions. The host countries of the three editions between 2025 and 2029: Thailand, Malaysia, and Singapore agreed to propose amendments to the Charter and Rules.[51][52] The new amendment to the Charter and Rules was unanimously approved by the SEAGF members at the SEAGF Council meeting during the 2023 SEA Games.[53][54] This edition will be the first to implement the new rules.

Section 34 of the amended SEAGF Charter and Rules states that starting with the 2025 edition, the program of the SEA Games will include a minimum of 36 sports, with the compulsory 12 sports included in the Olympic and Asian Games under Category 1, a minimum of 25 Olympic and Asian Games sports under Category 2, and a maximum of 4 other sports under Category 3. The medal events of categories 1 and 2 should align with the Olympic and Asian Games program, while the events of the sports category III.They could not exceed a number greater than eight and must be chosen from a pre-established list a few years before. [50][53][54][55]
