The Hangzhou Asian Games, which were scheduled to take place from September 10 to 25 has been postponed indefinitely amid a recent surge in COVID-19 cases in China.
The new dates will be announced in near future.
The name and the emblem of the 19th Asian Games will remain unchanged, and about 11,000 athletes were to compete in 61 sporting disciplines in the Games.
Additionally, the 3rd Asian Youth Games, which was scheduled from December 20-28 in Shantou, China have also been cancelled.
The next Asian Youth Games will therefore be held in 2025 in Tashkent, Uzbekistan.
