JUARA
The tiger is synonymous with Malaysia and South East Asia. It

symbolizes strength, bravery, speed and agility – all the traits that
we desire in our athletes. The tiger’s golden coat is reminiscent
of the colour of the medal to which every athlete aspires. The
strength of the tiger also represents the strong bonds of unity,
friendship and understanding among the people of ASEAN.
Holistically, the tiger personifies the hopes and aspirations of
participants of this sporting event.

BACKGROUND OF GAMES

BACKGROUND OF
ASEAN SCHOOLS SPORTS COUNCIL (ASSC)
Prior to 1978, four ASEAN countries comprising Indonesia, Thailand, Singapore

and Malaysia met and discussed the formation of a sports body that would
govern all sports programmes and activities for school children of the ASEAN
countries.
In April 1978, the ASSC was formed during a meeting in Jakarta, Indonesia.
The founding members of the ASSC are Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore and
Thailand. Besides the founding members, the current member countries
comprise of Brunei, Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, Philippines and Vietnam.
In 2004, the ASSC secretariat was formed. Each member country was to
preside over the chairmanship of the Games over a two-year term. It was
proposed during the Technical Committee Meeting in Malaysia in 2007 that the
ASSC sport calendar activities will be held annually.
In 2008, the ASSC celebrated the 30 Anniversary of the ASEAN Schools Sports
Council at the 58 Technical Committee Meeting and 45 Management
Committee Meeting in Cebu, Philippines. The outcome of the meeting in Cebu
heralded a new chapter in the ASSC events whereby all twelve sports in its
calendar were merged on a carnival basis known as the ASEAN SCHOOLS
GAMES. This decision was the manifestation of rigorous discussion over two
Technical Committee Meetings held in Singapore from 18-21 June 2007 and in
Malaysia from 4-7 December 2007.
Member countries take turns to host the annual ASG event. The first ASG was
hosted by Thailand in 2009, with participation from 5 member countries.

BACKGROUND OF
ASEAN SCHOOLS GAMES (ASG)
ASEAN Schools Games (ASG) is an annual competition for student athletes from
countries affiliated to ASEAN Schools Sports Council (ASSC). Prior to 2009, the
Games were played based on satellite, single sports events. This was revamped in
2009, where a Games format was implemented. The first ASG planned under the new
Games format with ten sports, was organized by Thailand and it marked a milestone
for ASSC as it moved from hosting satellite championships to consolidating all sports
into one annual major sporting event.
OBJECTIVES
• To promote ASEAN solidarity among our youth through school sports;

• To provide opportunities for school athletes to benchmark their sporting talents in the
ASEAN region; and
• To provide opportunities for school athletes to interact and engage in cultural
exchange within ASEAN.
