Introduction

The Olympic Council of Asia (OCA) wants to change the dates of the Asian Games. They want the games to happen in odd years starting in 2031.

Main Body

The OCA wants the Asian Games to happen one year before the Olympic Games. The 2026 games will stay the same. But the 2030 games will move to 2031. The 2034 games will move to 2035. This change helps athletes. They can practice and compete before the Olympics. Other sports games in Africa and Europe already do this. There are too many big sports events in even years. For example, the World Cup happens in even years. Moving the Asian Games to odd years gives more space in the calendar.

Conclusion

The OCA is talking to other sports groups now. They want to help athletes and fix the sports calendar.
