The Games

Sports

The article 74 of the Olympic Council of Asia constitution states that the programme of the AIMAG shall include not less than six indoor sports and two sports from martial arts sports, recognised by the Olympic Council of Asia. For this to happen, it will be a responsibility of the organizing committee to choose which of twenty-nine sports included within the status of indoor sports or martial arts sports and not part in latest editions of the Asian Games. The organizing committee can choose any sports part in latest editions of the Asian Games or not within the status of indoor sports or martial arts sports, if there are demands from the host country.

Following the signing contract after successful negotiations with Thailand, the Olympic Council of Asia initially announced that the Games would feature twenty-six disciplines in twenty-four sports, including the seventeen indoor sports and seven martial sports and two demonstration sports established in the Games charter. On 21 May 2020, the Olympic Council of Asia and the organizing committee announced the final number of sports on this edition's program with finals being held in twenty eight sports, seven more than those held in the previous edition in 2017. The number of sports programme increased to twenty-nine sports after successful negotiations to add Olympic and Asian Games sports who are very popular at the country as shooting, badminton and volleyball, but this sports have to held non-olympic events.

Due to a ban imposed by the International Weightlifting Federation on Thailand, weightlifting events have to be excluded.

A total of thirty-two disciplines in thirty sports and two demonstration sports are scheduled to include.

Demonstration sports

Sports program

Cheerleading, Floorball, Indoor rowing and Netball are sports that have recently been approved by International Olympic Committee and are on the World Games program and have low popularity and visibity in certain regions of Asia.However, in another countries or regions of the continent they are extremely popular. Going according to the original proposal of the event, this is their chance to be part of the sports program of a multisport event, which certainly increases their visibility on the continent and increase the chances that they will be included in the Olympic Games program in the future.

Olympic Sports played in other formats

Twelve sports that are part of the current Olympic program (athletics, badminton, 3x3 basketball, football, hockey, karate, roller sports, rowing, shooting, swimming, water polo and taekwondo) are in this edition's program, however, some of them will be played in formats that are not part of the Olympic Games. Among these, three are new sports (badminton, shooting, and volleyball). Although they are part of the Asian Games programme too, the organizing committee will revamp the events to differ from current Asian Games programme. Badminton events will be reduced from 7 to 3. The number of events in the shooting will also drop from 20 to just 5,only the pistol events (10 and 25 meters) are scheduled to be held. Changes will also happen in volleyball tournaments. Each participating team will be able to register 12 athletes, however, up to 3 athletes may be over 23 years old. This measure was taken due to the congestion of the sport calendar in 2021, as the event was scheduled to coincides to the FIVB Volleyball Nations League first three weeks.

Another specific case is that of sepak takraw, after 12 years hiatus the sport will be back on the program. As the national sport of Thailand, the format of the competitions and the number of events at the last Asian Games will be maintained. In addition, the four events that were excluded from Jakarta will be back, along the hoop, it is expected that five new mixed events will be added to the program.
