The 2011 Southeast Asian Games, officially known as the 26th Southeast Asian Games (Indonesian: Pesta Olahraga Asia Tenggara 2011) was a multi-sport event held in Jakarta and Palembang, Indonesia from 11 to 22 November 2011 with 545 events in 44 sports and disciplines featured in the games. It was Indonesia's fourth time to host the Southeast Asian Games, and its first since 1997.
The capital city of Jakarta has been the host of Southeast Asian Games for three times, namely in 1979, 1987, and 1997. Palembang is the third SEA Games host city which is not the national capital, after Chiang Mai (1995) and Nakhon Ratchasima (2007), Thailand. Indonesia is the fifth nation to host the Southeast Asian Games after Thailand, Myanmar, Malaysia and Singapore and before Philippines, Brunei, Vietnam and Laos.
The final medal tally was led by host Indonesia, followed by Thailand and Vietnam. Several games, Asian and national records were broken during the games. Though there were several controversies, the Games were deemed generally successful with its promotion for conservative effort on endangered fauna species namely the komodo dragon through the mascot and with the rising standard of competition amongst the Southeast Asian nations.
