About ZOAT
ZOAT: A Legacy of Sport & Camaraderie
ZOAT stands for Zuidoost Azië Toernooi (Southeast Asia Tournament), a unique and cherished annual tournament rooted in history and friendship. Established in 1906 in Jakarta by Dutch expatriates, it has evolved over more than a century into one of Asia’s most eagerly anticipated sporting gatherings.
By 1972, ZOAT had taken on its current form and rhythm: an exciting, rotating annual weekend of hockey and golf hosted across five dynamic cities—Jakarta, Kuala Lumpur, Hong Kong, Bangkok, and Singapore.
