It is the first time after 18 years later which the 3rd National Sports Festival was last held in Yangon in 1997.
The sports festival was held to produce new generations for all kinds of sports and to prepare for the 28th SEA Games.[1]
The 1st, 2nd and 3rd National Sports Festivals were held in 1992, 1994 and 1997 in Yangon.The festival could not be held after 1997 because of the difficulty of organising the events.From this year, the government is trying to hold the sports festival annually.[2]
