Extended data:

18 Asian Games was held in Jakarta, Indonesia from August 20 18 to September 2, 20 18. Jakarta is the third capital city to win the right to host the second Asian Games after Bangkok and New Delhi.

Jakarta held the 4th Asian Games in 1962. There are 40 events in the Asian Games in Jakarta, including 32 Olympic events and 8 non-Olympic events. Jakarta will also host the Third Asian Games for the Disabled after the Asian Games, and Dagang will be the co-host city of the 18 Asian Games.

On July 3, 2009, the 28th Congress of the Olympic Council of Asia decided to postpone the Asian Games for one year, that is, from 20 19, the Asian Games will always be held one year before the Olympic Games, instead of the original two years before the Olympic Games. This arrangement is mainly because the Summer Youth Olympic Games will be held every four years from 20 10, and the original Asian Games has a great conflict with it. Moreover, the World Cup is held two years earlier than the Olympic Games, and the ratings of the Asian Games held in the same year will also be affected.

However, Indonesia will hold a presidential election in 20 19. Indonesia hopes that the OCA will adjust the original time of the 18 Asian Games to 20 19, and the OCA has agreed to this application.

Starting from 20 14, the Asian Games was reduced to 36 events (28 Olympic events and 8 non-Olympic events).
