The 2021 Southeast Asian Games, officially known as the 31st Southeast Asian Games or 31st SEA Games and also known as Vietnam 2021, is a biennial regional multi-sport event currently held from 12 to 23 May 2022 in Hanoi, Vietnam. Originally scheduled to take place from 21 November to 2 December 2021, it was rescheduled as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic in Vietnam.[2] The competition features 40 sports, mainly those played at the Olympic Games.[3][4] This is the second time that Vietnam has hosted the Southeast Asian Games, having previously hosted the 2003 edition.

Host selection

Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City both submitted bids to host the games. While Ho Chi Minh City was initially favoured, Hanoi is later deemed to be the more suitable location due to its existing sporting infrastructure. This came after the Vietnamese Prime Minister Nguyễn Tấn Dũng ordered provinces and cities to not build new sporting facilities as a cost-saving measure, following the country's withdrawal from hosting the 2018 Asian Games due to financial restraints.[5][6]

Hanoi

According to Hanoi's submitted proposal to the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism (MCST), the city would spend 1.7 trillion VND ($77 million) on preparing and organizing the 2-week games running from late November to December. 97 billion VND ($4.3 million) is expected to be earned back from broadcast rights, advertisements, sponsors and other contributions.[7]

Ho Chi Minh City

In December 2017, Ho Chi Minh City Municipal Standing Committee of the Communist Party approved of the city's hosting proposal. According to the proposal, the direct cost for hosting the Games in the city is estimated to be 7.48 trillion VND ($330 million) with 6.6 trillion VND (US$290 million) to be spent on upgrading sports facilities and 904 billion VND ($40 million) on organizing costs. However, another 8.2 trillion VND ($360 million) is needed for the construction of Rach Chiec Sports Complex while an athletes' village will not be built. The Games would run for 12 days in mid-August and see 30-36 sports being contested. The provinces of Đồng Nai and Bình Dương would also host a portion of Games.[8]

Decision

On 9 July 2018, the Vietnamese government selected Hanoi as the host city of the 31st SEA Games and the 2021 ASEAN Para Games, which was later ratified by Vietnamese Prime Minister Nguyễn Xuân Phúc on 13 November 2019.

Postponement

Despite the postponement of the 2020 Summer Olympics in July 2021, the games were still planned to be held from late November to early December 2021, three months after the rescheduled Olympics. The 11th ASEAN Para Games were also to be held from 17 to 23 December 2021. Vietnam Television (VTV) and Voice of Vietnam (VOV) were appointed as the host broadcasters.[9] Originally scheduled to be held from 21 November to 2 December 2021,[9] the games were later postponed to 12 to 23 May 2022 due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Vietnam.[10]

Preparation

Vietnam's SEA Games Organizing Committee (SEAGOC) was formed in April 2020 with the function of preparing, submitting and executing plans to stage the Games.[11]

Budget

The proposed budget allocated by the Vietnamese government for this edition of SEA Games was initially estimated to be 1.6 trillion VND (US$69.3 million). 980.3 billion VND (US$42.3 million) would be used for organizing costs while 602.3 billion VND (US$25.9 million) would be allocated for upgrades and repairs to facilities managed by MCST.[12] Provincial authorities are responsible for renovations to facilities under their management. Other than a new cycling track in Hòa Bình Province and a small tennis complex on Hanoi Sports Training and Competition Centre campus (handled by Hanoi People's Committee), no other sporting venue would be constructed for the edition.[12]

Organization revenue is expected to be 226.6 billion VND (US$9.7 million), with 136.6 billion VND coming from the delegates' accommodation fees and 65 billion VND from broadcast rights.[12]

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Vietnam's budget for the Games was cut.[13] In January 2022, the Vietnamese government approved an organizing budget of 750 billion VND (US$32.8 million) for the Games.[14] On April 1, 2022, the Vietnamese government approved an additional budget of 449 billion VND (US$19.65 million) for the Games. The money is taken from the national budget for sports and physical training in 2022. Four ministries and central agencies will be provided 378.3 billion VND, while Hanoi and 11 other provinces will receive an additional 70.7 billion VND.[15][16]

Provinces that will host 2021 Southeast Asian Games

While Hanoi will be the main hub, several other surrounding provinces will also assist in hosting portions of the games. Athletes and officials will be housed in hotels near their competition venues. In the initial plan, a new tennis complex was planned to be built on Hanoi Sports Training and Competition Centre campus and a newly rebuilt Hàng Đẫy Stadium would host a group for men's football. Both of these projects faced development delays and difficulties and could no longer be completed in time for the games.[17] Consequently, the tennis venue was relocated to a newly-built private venue in Bắc Ninh Province, and Việt Trì Stadium will host a men's football group alongside Thiên Trường Stadium during the group stage.[18]

Volunteers

The organizing committee planned to recruit around 3,000 volunteers for the Games with 2,000 of them based in Hanoi. In February 2022, SEAGOC started to work with local Hanoi colleges, mainly Hanoi University and Hanoi Open University to start the process. Applicants are required to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19.[22] Selected volunteers would receive orientation and training between March and April before being assigned to specific venues in April 2022.[23]

Torch relay

The torch relay was held 31 days prior to the opening ceremony, representing 31 editions of the Southeast Asian Games. The journey started at Hùng Temple in Phú Thọ Province on 11 April 2022, and had gone through all hosting provinces before arriving at the cauldron at Mỹ Đình National Stadium in Hanoi on 12 May 2022.[24]

Ticketing

The SEAGOC encouraged each provincial organizing committee to allow spectators to enter competition venues for free.[25] However, the decision to release and/or charge for tickets is ultimately dependent on each province. Hải Phòng and Quảng Ninh have expressed interests in free entry for all spectators, with the latter being the largest cluster of venues outside of Hà Nội. Meanwhile, Phú Thọ, the host for all of Vietnam's matches in men's football, has planned on selling tickets.[26]

The Games

COVID-19 regulations

Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, all athletes and officials entering Vietnam are required to have a negative PCR-based COVID-19 test within 72 hours of their departure. Within 24 hours of entry and of their respective event, participants will be tested again using rapid testing.[27]

If an athlete tests positive for COVID-19, they will be quarantined at their designated facility, or transported to a hospital in severe cases. For a positive case tested before their respective event, the NOC could replace the athlete with another one. However, if a positive case turns up while the event is still ongoing, the athlete can no longer participate and their results will be invalidated.[27]

Spectators at any events will not have to show any negative test to enter. However, the amount of spectators allowed at a venue depends on the local COVID-19 regulations at the time of competition.[27]

Opening ceremony

The opening ceremony for the Games was held on 12 May 2022 - 20:00 (local time) at Mỹ Đình National Stadium. Merited artist, Vietnamese choreographer and head of the Vietnamese Department of Performing Arts Trần Ly Ly was the chief director of the ceremony. Only 31 athletes from each country participated in the parade of nations, as a preventive measure against COVID-19.[28] 3D Mapping, Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), Extended Reality (ER) and Mixed Reality (MR) were among the technologies used during the ceremony.[29] More than 1,000 actors were mobilized for the performance, with each smaller performance featured more than 200 actors and actresses. The stage is designed with 44 projectors for demonstrating projection mapping technology and the stadium pitch was turned into a display surface. In addition, the entirety of stand B in the stadium was used as the main stage.[30] The ceremony, titled Welcoming Southeast Asia, featured three main performances which included: Friendly Vietnam, Strong Southeast Asia, and Shining Southeast Asia. The stories of bamboo and wet rice culture, which represent the flexibility and resistance of the Vietnamese people, and also lotus as the national flower were among the elements featured in the ceremony.[31]

First performance “Friendly Vietnam” shows the message that Vietnam is a country with a culture with its own identity and friendly with people from all countries of the world. Second performance “Strong Southeast Asia” demonstrates the strength of the ASEAN community when linking will create a position on the world map. Third performance “Shining Southeast Asia” shows the strength of solidarity and friendship between Vietnam and ASEAN countries that working together to unite, build a strong ASEAN community and promote ASEAN’s role in the international arena.[32][33]

Participating nations

Marketing

Official branding

On 30 August 2019, Vietnam Olympic Committee launched a nationwide contest to find the official logo, mascot, slogan, and song for both 31st SEA Games and 2021 ASEAN Para Games. The contest ran until 30 October 2019. The top 3 in each category were intended to be featured on a ballot and Vietnamese nationals could then vote for the winning creation.[42] On 20 October 2019, a mascot named after the canine character Vàng in Nam Cao's famous short story Lão Hạc was awarded People's Choice Award by the organizer.[43] On 26 October 2019, the final top 3 mascots, selected by an internal panel, were announced. These mascots took inspirations from various Vietnamese animals: the endangered species saola, the mythical creature "con nghê", and tigers. The selected designs were met with a negative reception by the Vietnamese public. The organizers later withdrew the announcement, stating that the designs were preliminary and would undergo further adjustments.[44] The reveal was then postponed to November 2019, and later indefinitely postponed.[45]

On 19 November 2020, the winning entries were announced.[46] No theme song was selected from the contest, with the organizing committee commissioning composer Quang Vinh, who previously penned the theme song "For the World of Tomorrow" (Template:Lang-vi) for the 22nd SEA Games in 2003, to write a new theme song for this edition.[47]

The 31st SEA Games logo was designed by Hoàng Xuân Hiếu. Hiếu's logo is inspired by the combined images of a dove and a human hand to create the "V" shape,[48] representing the words "victory" and "Vietnam". This idea originates from the image of an athlete placing his hand on his left chest, singing the National Anthem before each sacred match. In addition, the bird's wings are a symbol of extraordinary will, desire to conquer and great sportsmanship.

Mascot

File:SEA Games 31 Mascot Sao La.png
Sao La is the official mascot of the 31st SEA Games 2022

The mascot of the 2021 Southeast Asian Games is Sao La, inspired by saola – a rare mammal native to central Vietnam. This design by Ngô Xuân Khôi defeated 557 other mascot submissions to emerge as the winner of the 2019 searching contest.[46]

Slogan

"For a Stronger Southeast Asia" was chosen as the slogan of this edition. The slogan represents Vietnam's hope as ASEAN Chair 2020, for the region to develop further, and signifies the region's strive to tackle the COVID-19 pandemic.

Theme song

During the International Press Conference held on 28 February 2022, "Let's Shine" (Template:Lang-vi), the official theme song of the 31st SEA Games, was revealed. The song was composed by Huy Tuấn and performed by Tùng Dương, Hồ Ngọc Hà, Văn Mai Hương, Isaac and Đen Vâu, and features lyrics in English and Vietnamese.[49][50][24]

Sponsors

There were 4 tiers of sponsorships for the 31st SEA Games. Diamond sponsors contributed more than 10 billion VND (US$438,000) in cash or 13 billion VND (US$569,000) worth of products or services. Platinum sponsors contributed 5-10 billion VND in cash or 8-13 billion VND worth of products or services. Gold sponsors contributed 3-5 billion VND in cash or 6-8 billion VND worth of products or services. Partner sponsors contributed under 3 billion VND in cash, or under 6 billion VND worth of products or services.[51] Vietcontent is the main sponsorship agency of the Games.[52]

Controversies

During the men's 4x100m freestyle relay in the swimming competition, both Singapore and Malaysia were disqualified after the two teams had won gold and silver, respectively. As a result of the disqualification, it pushed host Vietnam from bronze to gold. Official timing showed one of Malaysian swimmers had left the blocks at a changeover 0.12 seconds before the incoming swimmer had touched the wall, in comments reported by state news agency Bernama. Vietnamese swim coach Phan Quang Minh Quan told state outlet VnExpress: "This is something very difficult and sensitive in sport, but the digital machine detected the violations, not human, so it's fair."[63]

During the official weigh-in for the 48kg class in jujitsu, Jessa Khan, the defending champion & 2018 Asian Games gold medalist, was disqualified for being mere 240g over the weight limit. Under the rules of the Ju-Jitsu International Federation and the SEA Games Sports Technical Handbook, she is not allowed to compete in the competition. The National Olympic Committee of Cambodia (NOCC) lodged a formal appeal with the event’s organising committee immediately after the weigh-in, asking that she be allowed to compete in the higher weight class of 62kg. The appeal was denied.[64]
