Laos will host the 25^th South East Asian Games (SEA Games) this year. It will be the first time that the country will host such event. The event will be held this coming December 9-18, 2009. Considered as the Olympics in South East Asia, SEA Games is held every two years exclusively participated by countries located in the said region.

The opening and closing ceremonies will be done at the capital city of Vientiane. Due to constraints to finance the construction of facilities, the number of sports disciplines will be reduced. Nonetheless, 2009 SEA Games will be exciting as ever as defending overall champions Thailand will be greatly challenged by other powerhouse countries which includes Malaysia and Vietnam.
