The sum is sourced from the central budget's spending on physical training and sports for 2022.
Of the fund, 378.3 billion VND will be provided to four ministries and central agencies; and 70.7 billion VND to Ha Noi city and 11 provinces and centrally-run cities.
SEA Games 31, themed “For a Stronger South East Asia”, will run in Ha Noi and 11 neighbouring localities from May 12 to 23.
Featuring 40 sports with 526 events, it is expected to attract around 10,000 participants. The biennial event was initially slated for late 2021 but delayed due to the pandemic’s impact.
