A total of 43 sports will be contested at the 34th Southeast Asian (SEA) Games, which will be held in Malaysia from Sept 18-29 next year, after kabaddi, dance sport, teqball, padel, and ice hockey were added to the programme.
Speaking after the meeting hosted by the Olympic Council of Malaysia (OCM) and the Southeast Asian Games Federation (SEAGF) in Kuala Lumpur, Chaiyapak Siriwat, vice-president of the National Olympic Committee of Thailand (NOCT), said that the main issue at the meeting was the consideration of adding more sports to the 34th SEA Games, from the originally planned 38 sports.
