There is no SEA Games logo, mascot, slogan or song
Yesterday, for the first time we heard the song titled Together recorded with our name in the mountains and rivers by author Le Xuan Duc, performed by singer Quang Dung. This work was rated by the jury as the best quality in the entries that participated in the SEA Games 31 song release contest last August. However, the aforementioned song has not been officially selected, it must wait for the approval of the Organizing Committee (BTC) of SEA Games 31.
A leader of the General Directorate of Sports and Sports said: “We are quite impatient because from now until the 31 SEA Games begin, there will only be more than 1 year. Time is ticking because to hold a great congress, the workload is so great that the song is only one part of the whole process. In the event that the aforementioned song does not meet the requirements of the organizers, we will have to place an order. In fact, we have ordained musician Quang Vinh, who was very successful in composing the song For a world tomorrow for SEA Games 22, the congress held by Vietnam for the first time in 2003. Or choose songs Record your name on the river of the mountain or choose another song. We cannot decide on our own and we still have to wait. “

According to the regulations of the Southeast Asian Sports Council, the host country must announce the fun symbol (mascot), the logo (logo), the motto of the SEA Games at least 2 years before the opening ceremony. Vietnam even had to present the 31st convention mascot at the closing ceremony of the 30 SEA Games in the Philippines late last year. But until now, the General Directorate of Sports and Sports has not been able to announce the winning entries in each category as mentioned above.
Regarding the logo, currently the jury has planned to choose the stylized image of the pigeon wing combined with the hand to create the letter V (understood as Vietnam and Victoria – victory) to use in all SEA Games 31 and Para Games. The mascot for the two congresses is expected to be the saola, one of the rarest mammals in the world, classified as endangered in the Vietnam Red Book. Through the Sao la logo template, help friends in the region and around the world to learn more about the very special values that nature has given to Vietnam. As for the slogan of the congress, there were also 7 slogans that reached the final, but all have to wait and do not know when to wait.
Many job opportunities are “frozen”
Regarding the organization of the 31st SEA Games, the Covid-19 epidemic has seriously affected the preparation of Vietnamese owners. The SEA Games 31 project was approved later than planned. It is very worrying that the National Steering Committee for the 31st SEA Games and the BTC SEA Games cannot establish the congress control center as well as 9 sub-committees: Opening and closing; Reception, opening ceremony; Finance, fundraising; Technical knowledge; Security; Traffic; Facilities, logistics and public services; Medical and doping tests; Information communication.

Since there are no subcommittees, things are still quite complicated. Many job opportunities have fallen into a “frozen” state for many months due to the epidemic. In which the most worrying thing is the preparation of the facilities, the acquisition of equipment, logistics and public services, preparing the strength of the athletes. Many meetings of the General Directorate of Sports and Sports with neighboring satellites were also postponed due to the presence of Covid-19 in the localities (hosting some issues). Although the host project has been signed by the Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism, the financing of the organization has not been finalized. The pandemic affected both the world economy and the national economy, affecting investment and mobilizing funds for preparation and organization.
Hanoi is the main organizer and should have completed the study of the sports facilities serving the congress at this time. But also due to Covid-19 which had to be postponed several times. To Van Dong, Director of the Hanoi Department of Culture and Sports, said that the Department and the General Department of Sports and Sports are reviewing all facilities for the 31st SEA Games and it is expected to be completed by the end of September. The infrastructure system in Hanoi has deteriorated, the equipment is outdated and needs to be updated (not built new). But the mobilization of capital for renovation and repair also faces many difficulties, while budgetary capital is not abundant.

Hanoi canceled plans to build the athletic village because it is too expensive to use the hotel system in the area. Recently, Hanoi has asked not to host tennis because to organize this sport, it is necessary to build new construction clusters with a lot of socialization money, but in the current context, it is difficult to convene companies (Currently, the Vietnam Tennis Federation will would like to bring this topic to Binh Thuan). Hanoi also proactively proposed to the General Department of Sports and Sports to withdraw, do not organize a table (with U.22 VN team) of men’s soccer because the Hang Day yard could not be searched. The Phu Tho (Viet Tri) courtyard is likely to be selected instead.
Mr. Tran Duc Phan, Deputy Director General in charge of the General Department of Sports and Sports, shared: “It is true that the epidemic has slowed progress. We try to do BTC in September to implement the work, not to delay. Speed against the clock so that the two conferences go according to plan ”.

The total equipment purchase and rental cost for SEA Games 31 is expected to be approximately VND 269 billion.
