The SEA Games and Para Games will open to all, free of charge, including both Cambodian citizens and visiting foreigners.
The decision to extend the offer of free tickets to foreign visitors came Friday during discussions at a plenary session of the Council of Ministers chaired by Prime Minister Hun Sen.
On Thursday last week, the Prime Minister announced his decision to open all events at the SEA Games and the Para games to all Cambodians for free.
General Tea Banh, Defence Minister and president of the National Committee for Organising the 32nd SEA Games and the 12th ASEAN Para Games, said in a letter Friday that entry to all sporting tournaments would be free.
“Both Cambodians and foreigners are allowed to obtain free tickets and attend the opening and closing ceremonies and all sports events of the 32nd SEA Games and the 12th ASEAN Para Games,” Gen Banh said.
He added that everyone who had bought tickets already will be refunded.
He said that Cambodia will cancel all fees for foreign broadcasts of both the SEA Games and the Para Games.
