MANILA, Philippines – Less than a year after the 31st Southeast Asian Games wrapped up in Vietnam, the Philippines’ best athletes will once again be back in action as the 32nd edition rolls along from May 5 to 17, this time from the Kingdom of Cambodia.
For the Philippines, it looks to bounce back from a fourth-place finish in Vietnam, where it amassed 52 gold medals, 70 silvers, and 104 bronzes for a total haul of 226 – an expected decrease from its first-place finish in 2019 as the 30th SEA Games host.This is Cambodia’s first official hosting duty in the SEA Games’ 64-year history.
The Games resumed in 1965, with Malaysia serving as the new 3rd SEA Games host. To date, the 1963 SEA Games remains the only cancelled hosting in the event’s history.Not including future hosting duties and previous Peninsular Games, the Philippines leads the region along with Indonesia and Malaysia with four hosted Games each.Only East Timor, which joined the SEA Games contingent last in 2003, has yet to host.
