The 27th Southeast Asian Games is scheduled to be held in Naypyidaw, the new capital of Myanmar,[1][2][3] as well as in two other main cities, Yangon and Mandalay.[4]
The Southeast Asian Games Federation (SEAGF) Council met in Jakarta on 31 May 2010 unanimously agreed to award the Myanmar Olympic Committee the right to host the 27th edition of the games.[5]
Official website of the Olympic Council of Asia also approved the fact that Myanmar will host the 27th Southeast Asian Games in its news launched on 7 June 2010.[6] ASEAN Football Federation (AFF)'s official website also announced that Myanmar will host the games.[7] Myanmar had already hosted the Games in 1961 and 1969 respectively in Yangon, the then capital of Myanmar. This will be the third time that Myanmar will host the Southeast Asian Games. Singapore withdrew its hosting rights due to expected delays in the completion of its new national stadium.[8][9]

[edit] Host
Myanmar, Vietnam, Philippines and Thailand revealed the ambitions to host the games, however, since Vietnam, Philippines and Thailand were the hosts in 2003, 2005 and 2007 respectively, these countries are ineligible to host this edition.[10][11]
By the time that Myanmar will host the games, the country will hold the largest time interval of hosting the games, spanning a time of 44 years.
[edit] Sport
Myanmar proposed to hold 27 sports. Less than the number of sport in 2011 Southeast Asian Games in Indonesia.[12]
