IOC Member Khunying Patama Leeswadtrakul: The International Olympic Committee (IOC) and Agence française de développement (AFD), the French Development Agency, will assign more than EUR 1 million to support community-led sports projects aimed at preventing youth crime and strengthening social inclusion.

The 11 organisations based across Lao PDR, the Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam have been selected as the first grantees of the Southeast Asia Sport and Youth Crime Prevention (SYCP) Initiative, a groundbreaking programme initiated by the IOC and AFD. The programme will advance sport-based projects aimed at building safer and more resilient communities in Southeast Asia by fighting youth crime through sport.

The announcement was made at the inaugural SYCP Conference in Bangkok, Thailand, held in the lead-up to the 33rd Southeast Asian Games in December 2025.
