In November 2011, get ready for the 26th annual SEA Games or Southeast Asian Games — gathering over 5,000 athletes from the best teams in 11 countries (Brunei Darussalam, Cambodia, Timor Leste, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Mayanmar, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam) in a colorful and exciting week-long Southeast Asia championship.
Until 1975, the SEA Games were called the South East Asian Peninsular Games. When Indonesia and the Philippines were accepted as members, the name changed to to South East Asian Games.
Today the SEA Games test the mettle of top players in soccer, volleyball, cycling, judo, taekwondo and dozens of other sports who have their sights set at competing in the London 2012 Olympic Games.
In all, 390 gold medals will be in contention during the nine-day event being hosted in 2011 in Indonesia from November 11 to November 25, 2011 and broadcast live on 14 television channels in six countries. The opening and closing ceremonies will take place at Gelora Sriwijaya Stadium, Palembang, South Sumatra. - http://www.chiff.com
