KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 14 — The final list of sports events to be contested at the 2027 SEA Games in Malaysia is expected to be confirmed as early as the end of this month.

Chief Executive Officer of the Malaysia SEA Games Organising Committee (Masoc) and Asean Para Games 2027, Datuk Abdul Rashid Yaakub, said about 492 events across 43 sports were planned for the biennial Games, although the total had yet to be finalised.

He said preparations were underway to complete the technical handbooks for each sport before finalising the number of events to be contested at the 34th edition of the Games.

“Once we complete the technical handbooks, hopefully within the next two or three weeks, we will finalise the number of events for each sport.
