The 28th Southeast Asian Games will be hosted by the city-state of Singapore.[1][2][3] It will be held from 5 to 16 June 2015, although the preliminary rounds of football will start a few days before the opening ceremony. About 7000 athletes from 11 participating nations will compete in the Games.[4]

Singapore as the host city of SEA Games 2015.

Host selection

Singapore's selection as the host of the 28th Southeast Asian Games of 2015 was announced in 2011 during the 26th Southeast Asian Games, held in Indonesian cities Palembang and Jakarta. The Lion City had previously been picked to host the event in 2007 and 2013, but turned down both opportunities citing costs associated with the construction of the new Singapore Sports Hub.[5]

Development and preparation

The Singapore SEA Games Organising Committee (SINGSOC) was formed on 28 June 2012 to oversee the staging of the event.

Venues

The 2015 Southeast Asian Games will use a mix of new, existing and temporary venues. Given the city-state's compact size, most venues are pre-existing public-sporting facilities located in the suburban heartlands which will revert to public use after the games. No major retrofitting work is necessary in most venues as most are of good quality and has been used to host major multi-disciplinary events such as the 2010 Youth Olympic Games.

At the centrepiece of the activities will be the Singapore Sports Hub which is due for completion in mid-2014. Incorporating the new 55,000-seat national stadium, it will host most of the events.

A games village will not be built. Instead, a "village in the city" concept will see athletes and officials housed in 20 hotels in Downtown Singapore. Besides being physically near to the Singapore Sports Hub, it is hoped that it will add vibe to the city and reduce post-games costs in converting a dedicated games village to other uses.

The 28th Southeast Asian Games have 30 venues for this games.

Public transport

Given the pre-existing extensive public transport network already in place, there is no games-specific major infrastructural development to support it. The clustering of venues is aimed at easing the traffic flow, and a bus service for games athletes and officials will be provided.

Financing

Volunteers

The organisers estimated that about 15,000 volunteers are needed to successfully host the games. Volunteer recruitment began in late 2013, and by February 2014, about 5,000 volunteers have signed up.[9] This number swelled to over 17,000 by February 2015, and a volunteers night event was held at Universal Studios Singapore to launch the sports volunteers brand name as "Team Nila" and to thank the volunteers who have signed up with free shows at the venue. Amongst the pool of 17,000 volunteers, 35% came from the community, while 65% were from corporations in support of the games.[10]

Ticketing

Countdown

During the closing ceremony of the 2013 Southeast Asian Games, the SEAG Flag was formally handed over to Singapore from Myanmar. This was followed by a song and dance section highlighting Singapore as the next venue.

On 27 June 2014, a series of festivities were held at the Singapore Sports Hub, including a fireworks display, to mark the one year countdown to the games. The Sports Hub Community Open House was held in conjunction with the launch to introduce the new sports facilities to the general public.[11]

The countdown to the games began on 15 February 2014 with a launch party at the Gardens by the Bay, where the logo, theme and mascot were also introduced.[12]

800 Nanyang Polytechnic students organised a major countdown event on 11 April 2015 to mark the final 50 days in a few days, where about 4,000 people turned up to attend a concert and a sports carnival.[13]

On 16 April 2015, the 50-day countdown began with various organisations stacking a number each through a video tribute. This included: London School of Business and Finance Singapore (49), Compassvale Primary School (48), Development Bank of Singapore (47), National Kidney Foundation (46), CWT Limited (45), Park View Primary School (43), Sport Singapore (42), 41st Battalion, Singapore Armoured Regiment (41), and Corporation Primary School (40).[14]

Sports

The 2015 Southeast Asian Games programme will feature 36 sports in 402 events. The number of events in each discipline is noted in parentheses.

¹ – not an official Olympic Sport.
² – sport played only in the SEAG.
³ – not a traditional Olympic nor SEAG Sport and introduced only by the host country.
° – a former official Olympic Sport, not applied in previous host countries and was introduced only by the host country.
ʰ- sport not played in the previous edition and was reintroduced by the host country.

The first 30 sports were announced by the Singapore National Olympic Council on 10 December 2013 on the sidelines of the 27th SEA Games in Myanmar. It announced then that there was room for as many as eight more sports.[16][17] On 29 April 2014, the final six sports, namely boxing, equestrian, floorball, petanque, rowing and volleyball were added to the programme. Floorball will feature in the event for the first time after being a demonstration sport in the 2013 edition.

In its selection of events, the organising committee indicated their desire to set a model for subsequent games in trimming the number of "traditional" sports to refocus on the SEAG's initial intent to increase the level of sporting excellence in key sports. Hence, despite room for up to eight traditional sports, only two, floorball and netball, were included in the programme. Amongst the other 34 sports, 24 are Olympic sports and all remaining sports are featured in the Asian Games.
