Asian Games (Asiad)

The Asian Games, also called the Asiad, is a multi-sport event held every four years among athletes from all over Asia. The Asian Games are the world's second largest multi-sport event after the Olympic Games.

The games are regulated by the Olympic Council of Asia (OCA) under the supervision of the International Olympic Committee (IOC).

The first Asian games were held at New Delhi in 1951, which again hosted it in 1982. The 15th Asian Games were held in Doha, Qatar from December 1 to December 15, 2006. The 16th Asian Games will be held in Guangzhou, China from November 12, 2010 to November 27, 2010.

The 2010 Asian Para Games will debut shortly after the conclusion of the 16th Asian Games, using the same facilities and venue made disability-accessible. The inaugural Asian Para Games, the parallel event for athletes with physical disabilities, is a multi-sport event held every four years after every Asian Games.

In 2009 OCA changed the year from the Asian Games to one year ahead of the Olympic Games. After Incheon Asian Games in 2014, the next games will be in 2019.
