Cambodia pulls team out of SEA Games in Thailand

Cambodia on Wednesday withdrew its team from the Southeast Asian Games in Thailand for safety reasons, as a border conflict between the two neighbours raged for a third day.



In a letter to organisers, the National Olympic Committee of Cambodia said it made the decision due to "serious concerns" and requests from families of athletes to allow them to return home.



Cambodia was ranked fourth in the medals table when it hosted the last Games in 2023. This year's edition is being contested in Bangkok, Chonburi and Songkhla.
