The Thai Tourism and Sports Ministry has pledged to help Laos improve the National Football Stadium and other sport facilities in Vientiane in preparation for the 25th SEA Games in 2009, local media reported.
The ministry will spend about 21.3 billion kip (roughly 2.4 million USD) on upgrading the sports facilities in the capital city and another sum of 1.5 billion kip for training referees, athletes and officials of the Lao National Sports Committee (LNSC), said the Lao news agency (KPL) on September 4.
“The ministry is ready to assist Laos with its preparation for the games,” Thai Minister of Tourism and Sports Weerasak Kowsurat was quoted as saying.
“The sporting collaboration would help strengthen the relations between Laos and Thailand,” he added.
Once completed, the football stadium can hold more than 10,000 audiences, according to the news agency
