Three Cambodian sports to demonstrate cultural identity have been included among the total 37 kinds of sports for the 32nd SEA Games in the country
The note was underlined by H.E. Vath Chamroeun, Secretary General of the Cambodian SEA Games Organising Committee (CAMSOC) in a press conference chaired by H.E. Thong Khon, Minister of Tourism and Permanent Vice President of CAMSOC here in Phnom Penh on Thursday.
The three sports include Lbokator, Kun Khmer and Chess (Ouk Chaktrang) and the SEA Games 2023 will be a good opportunity for Cambodia to showcase the national cultural identity sports.
By far, Cambodia has organised two events – Kun Khmer SEA Championship 2022 and SEA Chess Championship 2023 – and the country will organise Lbokator SEA Championship 2023 next month, he added.
According to H.E. Vtah Chamroeun, International Kun Khmer Federation currently has 50 member countries and it will further promote the sports to attract more support from countries across the world.
In total, 36 sports and a demonstration sport (table football) have been listed for the 32nd SEA Games and 13 for the 12th ASEAN Para Games.
Cambodia will host the 32nd SEA Games and the 12th ASEAN Para Games from May 5 to 17, 2023, and from Jun. 3 to 9, 2023 respectively, under the motto “Sport: Live in Peace”.
