The 2009 Asian Indoor Games (Vietnamese: Đại hội Thể thao Trong nhà châu Á 2009), officially the 3rd Asian Indoor Games (Vietnamese: Đại hội Thể thao Trong nhà châu Á lần thứ 3) and also known as Vietnam 2009, were a pancontinential indoor multi-sport event held in Vietnam from 30 October till 8 November 2009. This was the last edition of the event to be held under the "Asian Indoor Games" name before it was merged with another Olympic Council of Asia (OCA) event – Asian Martial Arts Games to form the larger Asian Indoor and Martial Arts Games.

Mascot

The mascot of the 2009 event is the Ho chicken (Gà Hồ), a rare and distinctly Vietnamese breed of chicken. In Vietnamese culture, the chicken (particularly the rooster) have the five qualities of a man of honour: literacy, martial arts, physical strength, humanity and loyalty. The symbolism in the context of the AIGs is that the rooster mascot rising to welcome the sun is linked to the readiness of the sports industry of Vietnam to host this major event.
