The 31st Southeast Asian Games, the region's biggest sporting event, will be held in Vietnam from May 12 to 23 this year, organisers said.
The Games will feature 40 sports with 526 events, attracting around 10,000 participants, organisers announced at a press conference here.
The Vietnamese capital Hanoi will be the main venue alongside 11 neighbouring localities including Quang Ninh, Phu Tho and Bac Ninh, Xinhua news agency reported.
Originally scheduled to take place in November 2021, the biennial event was postponed due to the Covid pandemic in Vietnam and the wider region.
During this year's event, anti-pandemic measures will be applied in line with the Covid situation in Vietnam and other participating countries and regions, according to the organisers.
Competitions may be held with limited or no spectators, they added.
