History
editIn 1948, during the1948 Summer Olympics,AsianNational Olympic Committees(NOCs) decided to organize theAsian Games,under the auspices ofAsian Games Federation.The following year the Asian Games Federation was organized. Decades later this would be reorganized and the Olympic Council of Asia (OCA) was established inNew Delhion 16 November 1982. TheInternational Olympic Committee(IOC) recognized the OCA within the same year.[4]
The OCA together with the Asian Electronic Sports Federation (AESF) announced a new campaign for the upcoming 2022 Asian Games. The campaign, ‘Road to Asian Games’ will be officially organized by the AESF and aims to bring the Olympic spirit to eSports and introduce an education program for participating eSports athletes.[5]
On 8 July 2023, Talal Fahad Al-Ahmad Al-Sabah was elected as President of the OCA.[1]However, the IOC refused to recognize the election, and on 30 July 2023, the IOC, in a letter, askedRandhir Singh,who was at the time the Acting President of the OCA, to continue as acting president while the IOC investigated the 2023 OCA presidential election.[2]In July 2024, Singh was elected as the next President of the OCA, and the election, where he was the sole candidate, was unanimously approved by the Election Committee.[6]Singh's presidential election is set to take place at the OCA General Assembly on 8 September 2024.[6]
