The Olympic Council of Asia (OCA ) is a
governing body of sports in
Asia , currently with 45 member
National Olympic Committees . Talal Fahad Al-Ahmad Al-Sabah was elected as President of the OCA on 8 July 2023.
[1] However, on 30 July 2023, the
International Olympic Committee (IOC) asked
Randhir Singh , who was previously the acting president, to continue as the Acting President of the OCA, while the IOC investigated the OCA presidential election of 2023.
[2] On 13 October 2023, the IOC ethics committee asked the OCA to annul its 2023 elections due to Talal’s candidacy not fulfilling the eligibility conditions defined by the OCA Constitution and election interference by his brother
Ahmad Al-Fahad Al-Sabah .
[3]
The
headquarters of the OCA is located at
Kuwait City ,
Kuwait .
History
In 1948, during the
1948 Summer Olympics , Asian
National Olympic Committees (NOCs) decided to organize the
Asian Games , under the auspices of
Asian Games Federation . The following year the Asian Games Federation was organized. Decades later this would be reorganized and the Olympic Council of Asia (OCA) was established in
New Delhi on 16 November 1982. The
International Olympic Committee recognized the OCA within the same year.
[4]
The Olympic Council of Asia (OCA) together with the Asian Electronic Sports Federation (AESF) announced a new campaign for the upcoming 2022 Asian Games. The campaign, ‘Road to Asian Games’ will be officially organized by the AESF and aims to bring the Olympic spirit to eSports and introduce an education program for participating eSports athletes.
[5]
On 8 July 2023, Talal Fahad Al-Ahmad Al-Sabah was elected as President of the OCA.
[1] However, the IOC refused to recognise the election and on 30 July 2023, the IOC in a letter asked
Randhir Singh , who was previously the Acting President of the OCA, to continue as acting president while the IOC investigated the 2023 OCA presidential election.
[2]
Member nations
In the following table, the year in which the NOC was recognized by the
International Olympic Committee (IOC) is also given if it is different from the year in which the NOC was created. The NOC for
Macau is recognized by the OCA, but is not recognized by the IOC and does not compete in the Olympic Games. The OCA also includes the NOCs of
Chinese Taipei ,
Hong Kong , and
Palestine . East Timor is the newest member, joining in 2003.
The OCA includes the
transcontinental country of
Kazakhstan , but does not include
Armenia ,
Azerbaijan ,
Cyprus ,
Georgia ,
Turkey , and
Russia , although they are located wholly or mostly in Asia.
Israel , however, was excluded after the
Munich Massacre , upon the claim that their delegation security at the Asian Games would be a problem.
[51] The
South Caucasian countries opted to join the
European Olympic Committees after the
dissolution of the Soviet Union .
Former members
Israel was a member of the
Asian Games Federation , but was excluded from the Olympic Council of Asia upon its re-incorporation in 1981. Since 1994, Israel is a member of the
European Olympic Committees (EOC) instead.
