The Opening Ceremony is scheduled for Saturday, September 23, but competition in eight sports will start earlier on September 19. Then, the Games continue for a further 15 days until the Closing Ceremony on Sunday, October 8.
There are quota spots available in the nine disciplines of archery, artistic swimming, boxing, breaking, hockey, modern pentathlon, sailing, tennis, and water polo, and those competitions will also act as Olympic qualifiers.
There will still be notable athletes competing, including Neeraj Chopra, Mutaz Barshim, Pan Zhanle, and Hwang Sun-woo in swimming, even if the Asian Games in 2023 take place near the end of many summer sports seasons. Furthermore, because badminton and table tennis are mainly Asian-dominated sports, the best players in the world will still be competing there.
When and where will the Asian Games 2023 take place?
The Asian Games 2023 will take place from September 23 and will run until October 9 at Hangzhou, People’s Republic of China.
