Uzbekistan 2009 Asian Youth Games Singapore


These are the only 2 stamps that I know of that commemorate the 2009 Inaugural Asian Youth Games, held in Singapore, from 29 June to 7 July 2009. They are from Uzbekistan, issued on 1 July 2009; the sports featured on the stamps are football and basketball. Singapore, the host country of these games, did not issue any stamps for the event, but semi-private special MyStamp sheet was released for the games. The MyStamp sheet is semi-private because it was not an official issue by the Singapore Post, but is available for sale at all post offices and philatelic counters during the period of the games. The sheet was commissioned by the merchandising body of the games.
