the development of the Asian Games

The predecessor of the Asian Games was the Far East Games. In 1911, sponsored by the Philippine Sports Association, it was held every two years, alternately in Manila, Philippines, Shanghai, China and Osaka.

After the Second World War, many Asian countries got rid of colonial rule, gained independence and liberation, and established new social systems. With the healing of the war trauma, people's life has become more and more stable, and sports have gradually become active. The Olympic Games, which was interrupted for 12 years by the war, resumed again.

under this historical background, people in Asian sports circles have a desire to form a unified Asian sports leading body to promote the development of Asian sports. During the London Olympic Games in 1948, sports professionals from China and the Philippines planned to resume the Far East Games and discussed with sports professionals from Asian countries.

Guru Sandy, the leader of Indian sports at that time, thought that the Far East Games could not reflect the level of Asian sports and the unity spirit of Asian people, and advocated the establishment of an Asian Games in which all Asian countries participated.

He visited all the Asian sports representatives who came to London to participate in the 1948 Olympic Games, and invited representatives from 13 Asian countries and regions to hold a preparatory meeting on the establishment of Asian sports organizations.

The meeting decided to draft relevant documents and articles of association of the Asian Games, and decided to hold the first Asian Games in New Delhi, India, in February 1949. Due to domestic reasons in India, this sports meeting was postponed to 1951.

In February, 1949, representatives of Asian countries' sports circles held a meeting in New Delhi, at which the Asian Amateur Sports Federation was formally established. The Federation was later renamed the Asian Games Federation and the Asian Olympic Council in 1981.
