Mongolia has submitted a bid to host the 2038 Asian Games, competing with South Korea and India www.open.kg
The race to host these games also includes South Korea and India. The final decision on where the Asian Games will take place is expected to be made by the Olympic Council of Asia (OCA) around 2028.
Mongolia has confirmed its intentions regarding hosting the 2038 Asian Games, and this proposal was discussed at a recent meeting of the OCA Executive Board held in Sanya.
However, Mongolia is not the only country interested in hosting the 2038 Asian Games. South Korea has already submitted a joint proposal from the cities of Gwangju and Daegu, while India is also considered one of the potential candidates.
The Asian Olympic Council is expected to finalize the host city for the games around 2028. By that time, the dates for the upcoming Games will already be known: Aichi-Nagoya will host them in 2026, Doha in 2034, and Riyadh in 2030.
Of these three countries, only South Korea and India have experience in hosting the Asian Games. Mongolia, in turn, is making its first attempt to organize this large-scale event.
India last hosted the Asian Games in 1982 in New Delhi, while South Korea held them in Incheon in 2014. Since then, the format and scale of the events have changed significantly, attracting thousands of athletes from across Asia.
