Bangkok (VNA) - The Sports Authority of Thailand (SAT) has announced that live broadcasts of the 32nd Southeast Asian Games (SEA Games 32) will be televised for viewers in Thailand.

According to SAT Governor Kongsak Yodmanee, competitions for the upcoming Games will be broadcast on Channel 5, Channel 9, and NBT. Officials are also in talks with Channel 3 to join as the fourth channel for broadcasting various sports for the international multi-sport event.

The announcement came as Thailand and Cambodia are still in ongoing negotiations over licensing fees. Disputes erupted after Cambodia, the host of this year’s Games, requested 27.6 million THB (800,000 USD) from Thailand for the rights to broadcast the event, the highest fee ever charged for the competition.

The SEA Games 32 will take place in Cambodia from May 5 to 17. Thai national athletes hope to win at least 164 gold medals at the tournament and finish first in the medal standings./.
