For the first time, the Asian Games are being co-hosted in two cities ; the Indonesian capital of Jakarta, and Palembang, the capital of the Indonesian province of South Sumatra, with Jakarta hosting the Games for the second time since 1962. Events will be held in and around the two cities, including venues in the provinces of Banten and West Java which surround Jakarta. The opening and closing ceremonies will be held in Jakarta. Hanoi, Vietnam was originally chosen as the host, but withdrew due to financial considerations.

Hanoi was originally selected to be the host after they won the bid against two other candidates, Surabaya and Dubai. They were awarded the winning bid on 8 November 2012, with 29 votes against Surabaya 's 14 votes. Dubai pulled out at the last minute, instead announcing their intention to focus on future bids. The UAE 's National Olympic Committee 's vice-president denied any pullout and claimed that Dubai `` did not apply for hosting 2019 Asian Games '' and had `` only considered '' doing so. However, in March 2014, there were some concerns about Vietnam 's ability to host. These included concerns over whether the anticipated budget of US $150 million was realistic. There were claims that the government would eventually spend over US $300 million. In addition, critics were concerned that several stadiums built in conjunction with 2003 Southeast Asian Games had not been utilized since. Former chairman of the Vietnam Olympic Committee Ha Quang Du also claimed that hosting the Asian Games would not boost tourism in Vietnam. On 17 April 2014, the Vietnamese Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung officially announced Hanoi 's withdrawal from hosting. He cited unpreparedness and economic recession as the main reasons for the withdrawal, saying they have left the country unable to afford the construction of facilities and venues. Many Vietnamese people supported the decision to withdraw. No penalty was imposed for the withdrawal. Appointment of Jakarta and Palembang After Hanoi 's withdrawal, the OCA said that Indonesia, China, and the United Arab Emirates were major candidates under consideration to host. Indonesia was widely regarded as a favourite, since Surabaya was the runner - up of the previous bid, and willing to do so if selected. The Philippines and India expressed their interest about hosting the Games, but India failed to submit a late bid because it was unable to get an audience with Prime Minister Narendra Modi after being given an extended deadline by the OCA. On 5 May 2014, the OCA visited some Indonesian cities including Jakarta, Surabaya, Bandung, and Palembang. At this time Surabaya decided to drop their bid to host the Games and instead focus on hosting the already scheduled 2021 Asian Youth Games. On 25 July 2014, during a meeting in Kuwait City, the OCA appointed Jakarta as the host of the Games with Palembang as the supporting host. Jakarta was chosen because of its well - equipped sport facilities, adequate transportation networks, and other facilities such as hotels and lodgings for guests. On 20 September 2014, Indonesia signed the host city contract, and during the closing ceremony of 2014 Asian Games in Incheon, Indonesia was appointed symbolically by the OCA to host the next Games. The OCA originally planned to hold these Games in 2019 rather than 2018, so that Asian Games would be held in the year immediately prior to the next Summer Olympics, rather than two years before. After they were awarded to Indonesia, the OCA backtracked on these plans and kept the Games in 2018, so that they will not interfere with the 2019 Indonesian general elections. Organisation Marketing The Games ' mascots ; Bhin Bhin, Kaka, and Atung. The emblem for the 2018 Asian Games was first unveiled on 9 September 2015, in celebration of the country 's National Sports Day. The emblem featured a stylised depiction of a cenderawasih, a rare species of a bird in Indonesia. Organizers withdrew the design in January 2016, after it was widely criticized for its outdated appearance ( with some Indonesians joking that the bird depicted into the logo looked more like a chicken than a cenderawasih ). An open call for a new design was held, resulting in 60 submissions. The final design was unveiled on 28 July 2016 ; titled Energy of Asia, the emblem is modelled upon the roof of Gelora Bung Karno Stadium. New mascots were also unveiled, representing the Eastern, Central, and Western regions of Indonesia respectively ; Bhin Bhin -- a cenderawasih, Atung -- a Bawean Deer, and Kaka -- a Javan rhinoceros. Venues For the games, some venues will be built, renovated, and prepared across five provinces in Indonesia : Jakarta, South Sumatra, Banten, and West Java. On 7 January 2015, it was announced that the athletes ' village and aquatics center would be built in Kemayoran. The organisation hopes to keep the cost down by using the existing sports facilities and infrastructure, including those venues built for the 2011 Southeast Asian Games. South Sumatra 's provincial government claim that they are ready to hoar at least 18 sport disciplines with their existing Jakabaring Sport City complex. They will renovate some of the facilities in the complex, including a capacity upgrade of Gelora Sriwijaya Stadium from 36,000 to 60,000 seats. They will also extend the length of Jakabaring Lake to 2,300 metres. Transport As part of the Games preparation, the construction of the Jakarta Mass Rapid Transit will be accelerated. Palembang will also upgrade their transportation facilities by building 25 kilometres of the Palembang Light Rail Transit from Sultan Mahmud Badaruddin II International Airport to Jakabaring Sport City. Other transportation facilities such as underpasses, flyovers, and bridges will be also built in the city. Sultan Mahmud Badaruddin II International Airport will expand the existing arrival and departure terminals, and also build a skybridge with a light rail transit ( LRT ) terminal that can take passengers to Jakabaring. Costs The government has allocated a budget of IDR 3 trillion ( USD 224 million ) to prepare for the Games, with regional administrations also expected to supply some part of the funding. Games Ceremonies The OCA determined that Jakarta would host both the opening and closing ceremonies, although an earlier sports minister said Palembang would host the closing ceremony. Sports In March 2017, the Olympic Council of Asia initially announced that the Games would feature 484 events in 42 sports, including the 28 permanent Olympic sports contested at the 2016 Summer Olympics, the five additional sports that will be contested at the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, as well as events in other non-Olympic sports. In April 2017, the OCA approved reductions in the programme in response to cost concerns ; belt wrestling, cricket, kurash, skateboarding, sambo, and surfing were dropped from the programme, and there will also be a reduced number of competitions in bridge, jet ski, ju jitsu, paragliding, sport climbing, taekwondo ( in particular, all non-Olympic weight classes ), and wushu. These changes reduced the total number of events to 431. For the first time in Asian Games history, eSports will be featured as a demonstration sport.

On 30 Septemper 2017, China and Kazakhstan was provisionally suspended from all international weightlifting competitions by the International Weightlifting Federation ( IWF ) following the IOC doping retest samples from the 2008 and 2012 Olympic Games in Beijing and London.
