Development and preparation

The 11th Sukma Games Organising Committee was formed to oversee the staging of the event. [9]

Venues

The 2006 Sukma Games used a mix of new and existing venues. Most venues were existing public-sporting facilities, while others were newly constructed venues. Some retrofitting work were done in venues which are more than a decade old. They will be revert to public use after the games. [10]

At the centrepiece of the activities was the upgraded 40,000-seat Darul Aman Stadium which hosts most of the events. A games village was not built, instead athletes and officials were housed in Universities throughout Kedah. Besides being physically near to the sport venues, it was hoped that it will add vibe to the city and reduce post-games costs in converting a dedicated games village to other uses.

The 11th Sukma Games had 24 venues for the games. 12 in Kota Setar, 4 each in Kuala Muda and Kubang Pasu respectively and 1 each in Langkawi, Padang Terap and Pendang respectively. [11] [12]
