2034 Asian Games

2034 Asian Games
The 2034 Asian Games, officially known as the 22nd Asian Games and commonly known as Riyadh 2034, will be the twenty-second edition of the Asian Games, a pan-Asian multi-sport event to be held from 29 November to 14 December 2034 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Riyadh was elected as the host city at the 39th OCA General Assembly on 16 December 2020 in Muscat, Oman. This will be the first Asian Games held in Saudi Arabia, as well as the third and the last of two consecutive Asian Games held in Arabian Peninsula as the previous edition is set to be held in Doha, Qatar.
Bidding process
An Olympic Council of Asia's (OCA) Evaluation Committee led by Andrey Krukov from Kazakhstan inspected the candidate cities of Doha and Riyadh. The OCA voted on 16 December 2020 at the 39th OCA General Assembly in Muscat, Oman to select the host city for the 2030 Asian Games. The OCA confirmed on 23 April 2020, that the Saudi Arabian Olympic Committee had submitted the bid documents and the letters of support from the Government of Saudi Arabia to host the Games in Riyadh. On 15 December 2020, OCA President Sheikh Ahmad Al-Fahad Al-Sabah announced that he would attempt to find a dual-host city solution to avoid a vote for the 2030 Asian Games, by persuading one city to host the event in 2030 and the other to organize the competition in 2034. On 16 December 2020, it was announced that Doha will host 2030 Games with the highest votes and Riyadh will host the 2034 Games. Saudi Arabia had asked the OCA to halt electronic voting on the host of the 2030 Asian Games due to "the possibility of technical fraud".
