Cambodia has withdrawn from eight sports at the SEA Games in Thailand over safety concerns, a sports official said on Nov 27, as a border row between the nations simmers.

Intermittent military clashes between Cambodia and neighbour-ing Thailand, host of the SEA Games beginning on Dec 9, have erupted since earlier in 2025.

More than 40 people were killed during five days of combat in July.

While a truce backed by United States President Donald Trump has halted most hostilities, diplomatic tensions remain.

In a letter dated Nov 26, the National Olympic Committee of Cambodia (NOCC) informed the SEA Games Federation that it would not participate in judo, karate, pencak silat, wrestling, wushu, petanque, football and sepak takraw at the regional Games.
