So, pack your bags, book your tickets, and come join us at the SEA Games in Cambodia! You won’t be disappointed.

The 32nd SEA Games will take place from May 5 to 17 in Cambodia – though several kick off a week early — with most events being held in the capital Phnom Penh.

On March 31, Prime Minister Hun Sen has announced all tickets for the May 5 to 17 Southeast Asian Games will be free – for both Cambodians and foreigners, but the fans must book the ticket before each match to watch inside the stadium. Also, international broadcasters will not be charged for live television rights to cover the 608 events in 37 sports on offer.

Cambodia will also fully cover spending on food and accommodation services for sport delegations. Delegates from all 11 countries participating in the SEA Games and the ASEAN Para Games were not required to pay $50 per person per day as had been the case with previous hosts. The decision to cover the costs was to increase the warm friendships and lead to success as the host of the first SEA Games in history.
