In contrast to previous report about the downsizing of Cambodian delegation to the 2025 SEA Games, Vath Chamroeun, secretary-general of the National Olympic Committee of Cambodia (NOCC), has dismissed a misleading report by a Thai media outlet Khaosod English. 

 

In a report by media outlet The Phnom Penh Post dated August 5, Chamroeun stated that the NOCC was unaware of any such numbers. He emphasized that Cambodia’s participation in the SEA Games — or lack thereof — would depend on the real-time development of the ongoing border dispute and would ultimately require a decision from the Royal Government of Cambodia.

 

“We are unaware of this matter. This is not official. We have not considered anything other than continuing our training efforts. Everything depends on the situation, and we must wait for a final decision from the Royal Government. There’s still a long time to go,” he told the Cambodian media.
