The Games in the Malaysian capital are due to begin tomorrow with the Opening Ceremony and come just over two weeks since the completion of the Southeast Asian Games in the same city.

Action is due to take place until September 23.

The Kuala Lumpur 2017 Games, the third edition to be hosted by Malaysia, will see the largest number of sports contested since their inception in 2001.

Singapore hosted 15 sports in 2015 while Myanmar 2014 featured 12.

Next year's Games are expected to feature more than 350 events, with the participation of close to 3,000 athletes and officials from all 11 ASEAN nations.

They are Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, The Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Timor-Leste and Vietnam.

Archery, athletics, badminton, boccia and cycling have all been included on the sporting schedule, alongside both five and seven-a-side football.

Goalball also made the cut with powerlifting, sitting volleyball and swimming on the programme.

Table tennis, tenpin bowling, wheelchair tennis and wheelchair basketball complete the list.

The Singapore Games were hailed as the "best-ever" in the history of the event by the ASEAN Para Sports Federation.

Thailand finished top of the medals table with 95 golds in an overall haul of 250.

Malaysia were third behind Indonesia, taking home a total of 147 medals, 52 of which were gold.
