Singapore at the SEA Games

Singapore has sent thousands of athletes to the celebration of the Southeast Asian Games over the decades, starting with the first edition in 1959 as a founding member. Since then, the country has sent athletes to every edition. The Singapore National Olympic Council (SNOC) is the National Olympic Committee for Singapore, which also oversees athletes going for the competition.

Singapore in the Southeast Asian Games is considered to be one of the toughest competitors in numerous events, and have established themselves as a powerhouse in the sports world in Southeast Asia. In the most-recent 2021 Southeast Asian Games held in Vietnam, Singapore ranked fifth in the medal tally. Singaporean athletes have won a total of 3,484 medals (1,000 of them gold) at the Southeast Asian Games.

Singapore is set to host the 2029 Southeast Asian Games, after 14 years. The previous times that Singapore has hosted the games was in 1973, 1983, 1993 and 2015. The country achieved their 1,000th gold medal at the 2023 Southeast Asian Games, when Quah Ting Wen, Nur Marina Chan, Quah Jing Wen and Amanda Lim won at the women's 4x100m freestyle relay in swimming, one of the country's strongest sports. They had simultaneously broken the games record (GR) and the national record (NR).
