MSEditorial Winning formula in SEA Games Sports unity among countries in Southeast Asian countries began in 1958 when six countries banded together to form the South East Asian Peninsular Games or SEAP Games. READ:
These founding countries agreed to hold multi-sports event competitions every two years with the aim of fostering cooperation, understanding, and relations in the region through sports.In 1975, three more countries were included in the Philippines. Two years after, nine countries began competing for honors and the group assumed the new name—Southeast Asian Games Federation.ADVERTISEMENT
It has become a trend in recent years where the host country bags the overall championship and the rest grapple for 2nd place down the line.The Philippines relied heavily on Filipino martial arts sports of arnis, almost sweeping all the medals at stake, on the way to winning the 2019 SEA Games overall championship.In the coming SEA Games to be hosted by Cambodia in May, its local martial art Kun Bokator will be introduced and has been going rounds in the region to attract participation.
Cambodia has also “re-introduced” a cap in some events where the host can participate in all events while putting limited participation to the rest of the member countries.For a country of fewer than 17 million people, Cambodia has lined up 608 events in 49 sports, far bigger than the 530 events in 56 sports in the Manila edition in 2019 and the 526 events in 40 sports in Hanoi last year.
Cambodia is not to be blamed, however. It has long been a practice in the SEA Games where a host country is allowed to draw up policies that will help its bid for glory.
