Nearly 5,100 athletes from 11 countries in Southeast Asia will compete in 40 sports for 526 gold medals.
SEA Games 31 will officially kick off on May 12. However, many events such as football, kickboxing, diving, futsal or kurash will take place before that day.
The Vietnamese delegation attending the games has a total of 1,341 members; including 951 athletes and 250 coaches. They will vie in all sports at the tournament and are expected to win at least 140 gold medals to top the medal tally. In particular, the delegation is determined to successfully defend the top positions of the two men's and women's football teams.
On the afternoon of May 6, U23 men’s football team of Vietnam will begin the journey to conquer the gold medal when meeting the Indonesian U23 team. The latter is the opponent that the Vietnamese team defeated three years ago in the Philippines to win the first gold medal in men's football at the SEA Games.
