Get ready! The Asian Games are coming to Qatar for the second time in the country’s history.
The Olympic Council of Asia has announced Qatar will be hosting the 2030 Asian Games after a fierce bid battle between Doha and neighbouring Saudi Arabia.
The council also announced that Riyadh, which came second in the vote, will be hosting the consecutive tournament in 2034.
The announcement was made in the Omani capital, Muscat where the 39th Olympic Council of Asia General Assembly was taking place.
Qatar proposed a strong plan and referred to its already-built state-of-the-art facilities and infrastructure for the tournament which Saudi Arabia has yet to build. However, the time frame gives both countries enough time to prepare exceptional tournaments. PR
