Countries in the region can also propose other sports for competition. Hanoi and some neighbouring localities will provide the venues for the competitions.
Meanwhile, the Para Games 11 is set to have 14 sports.
Tran Hung Nguyen broke a SEA Games record at National Youth Swimming Tournament on Wednesday.

Vietnam will focus on Olympic sports at the 31st Southeast Asian (SEA) Games to be held in Hanoi next year.
The 31st Southeast Asian Games (SEA Games 31) promises to be completely different from the previous editions, and Vietnam will be a pioneer country in organising a SEA Games version with the largest number of Olympic sports thus far, a Vietnamese sport official said.
