History

The first National Sports Festival was held in Yangon in 1992. Originally intended to be held every two years, the sports festivals were not held due to difficulties. The third National Sports Festival was held in 1997. The fourth festival was held in 2015 under the U Thein Sein government. However, the sports festivals have not been held since then.
