HISTORY


 The Asian Games, also known as Asiad, is a Pancontinental
multi-sport event held every four years among athletes from all
over Asia
 Before the Asian Games were held, there was a gathering
known as the Far Eastern Games which was first mooted in
1912 between Empire of Japan, the Philippine Islands and
China.
 The first Games were then held in Manila in 1913 and ten
further gatherings were held until 1934 and were participated
in by six countries including the Philippines, Thailand, China,
Japan, Malaysia and Hong Kong.
 The second time they were held, the name of the games was
changed to the Far Eastern Championship Games
HISTORY

 1934, ten Games had been held bi-annually, in Japan, China and
the Philippines.
 However, against the backdrop of the second Sino-Japanese
War in 1934, in the face of Japan's insistence on including
Manchu Empire as competitor nation in the Games, China
announced its withdrawal from participation.
 For the 11th Games, they were renamed the Oriental
Championships and scheduled to be held in Osaka, Japan
 The Games scheduled for 1938 were cancelled due to the
Second World War and the organization was discontinued
thereafter.
HISTORY

 From 1913 to 1934, 10 Far East Championships were held in
Asia, but the championships stopped because of the outbreak of
World War II.

 After the war a number of Asian countries became


independent, their economy and culture developed, and Asian
people had an increasing desire to become less isolated from
each other and strengthen mutual intercourse.

 In order to keep abreast of the times, the Indian Prime


Minister, Jawahalal Nehru, proposed an Asian sports meet in
1947 at a conference on relations between Asian countries.

London, India proposed to sports leaders of the Asian teams
the idea of having discussions about holding the Asian Games.

first Asian Athletic Championships in New Dehli, India, in
1949.

Asian Amateur Athletic Federation.

formally formed, and its name was changed to the Asian
Athletic Federation.

CRISES

 Starting in 1962, the Games were hit by several crises.
1. First, the host country Indonesia refused to permit the
participation of Israel and the Republic of China:
 Due to political and religious issues.
 As a result, the IOC removed its sponsorship of the Games and
terminated Indonesia as one of the IOC members.
2. In 1970, South Korea dropped its plan to host the Games:
 Due to financial crisis
 As a result, it forcing the previous host Thailand to administer the
Games again in Bangkok using funds transferred from South Korea.
3. The last is 1978, Pakistan dropped its plan to host the Games in
1975:
 Due to financial crisis and political issues.
 As a result, Thailand offered to help and the Games were once again
held in Bangkok. However, Taiwan and Israel were refused the
participation by Games Federation because of political issues and
security fears.
REORGANIZATION

 Following this series of crises, the National Olympic Committee in
Asia decided to revise the constitution of the Asian Games
Federation (AGF).
 A new association, named the Olympic Council of Asia (OCA), was
created in November 1981 with the exclusion of Israel.
 India was already scheduled to host the 1982 Games and the OCA
decided not to drop the old AGF timetable.
 The OCA formally supervised the Games starting with the 1986
Asian Games in South Korea.
 In the succeeding Games, Taiwan (Republic of China) was re-
admitted, but was forced by the People's Republic of China to
compete under the name Chinese Taipei.
EXPANSION

Soviet Union: Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan,
Turkmenistan and Tajikistan for the first time.
