Some major retrofitting work were done in most venues to host the multi-sport event. At the centrepiece of the activities was the Hassanal Bolkiah Sports Complex which was completed in September 1983. Incorporating the 28,000-seat national stadium, it hosted most of the events. As Brunei have limited sports facilities, only 21 sports were held in the country. A games village was not built. Instead, a "village in the city" concept saw athletes and officials housed in were housed in service apartment and hotels respectively across Brunei, with the former served as the games village for the athletes. Besides being physically near to the Hassanal Bolkiah Sports Complex, 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.http://www.seagames20.net.bn/village.htm Games Village 3 March 2001 bot: unknown https://web.archive.org/web/20010303155956/http://www.seagames20.net.bn/village.htm 3 March 2001 http://www.seagames20.net.bn/accommodation.htm Accommodation 8 February 2017 bot: unknown https://web.archive.org/web/20010301183437/http://www.seagames20.net.bn/accommodation.htm 1 March 2001 https://globalnation.inquirer.net/87155/waiting-for-aquino-in-brunei Waiting for Aquino in Brunei The Philippine Inquirer 6 October 2013 The 20th Southeast Asian Games had 22 venues for the games.http://www.seagames20.net.bn/schedule.htm Schedule at Official Website of the Games Official Website 3 March 2001 bot: unknown https://web.archive.org/web/20010303034610/http://www.seagames20.net.bn/schedule.htm 3 March 2001 Nation Competition Venue SportsBruneiHassanal Bolkiah National Sports ComplexHassanal Bolkiah National StadiumAthletics, Football, Billiards and Snooker, Lawn bowls, Boxing, Opening and closing ceremoniesAquatic CentreAquatics (Swimming, Diving, Water polo)Indoor StadiumBadmintonHockey StadiumHockeyMulti Purpose HallPencak silatSquash CentreSquashTennis CentreTennisOthersUniversity of Brunei DarussalamBasketballGadong Police HeadquartersBoxingMuara-Tutong HighwayCycling (Individual time trial)Jalan Kianggeh, Jalan Sultan, Jalan Bendahara, Jalan CatorCycling (criterium)Youth CentreCycling (mass start)Bukit Shahbandar Forest Recreation ParkCycling (Mountain Bike: Downhill, Cross-country)Youth and sports complexFootballSultan Hassanal Bolkiah Sports CentreFootballPantai Mentiri Golf ClubGolfRoyal Brunei Airlines Sports Complex, Berakas KarateMuhibbah Hall Brunei Muara District Office, BerakasSepak takrawJerudong Park Trap & Skeet Range, JerudongShootingMenglait Sports ComplexTable tennis, TaekwondoUtama Bowling CentreBowlingWater sports complex, SerasaTraditional boat race Marketing Logo thumb|right|Awang Budiman, the official mascot of the games.
