Today, the President of the National Olympic Committee Umid Akhmatdjanov held talks with the President (OCA) Sheikh Ahmad Al-Fahad Al-Sabah. AIBA President Gafur Rakhimov also took part in the dialogue.

The parties discussed the possibility of holding the Asian Games-2030 in two cities of Uzbekistan - Tashkent and Samarkand. In addition to Uzbekistan, Qatar, India and the Philippines claim to host the XXI Asian Games in 2030.

In addition, they discussed the construction of sports facilities, the Olympic camp for the Asian Games, the subtleties associated with logistics, the mechanism of successful events at the highest level, the organization of a convenient route and transport, side events, broadcasting and much more.

During the dialogue, the President of the Olympic Council of Asia (OCA), Sheikh Ahmad Al-Fahad Al-Sabah, said that our country has not only all the chances for a decent Asian Games-2030, but also advantages in contrast to the three candidates mentioned above.

Among the advantages of Uzbekistan:

- The Asian Games have never been held in Uzbekistan,

- The holding of complex competitions in Uzbekistan is an extension of the geography of the Asian Games;

- The reforms carried out by the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan Shavkat Mirziyoyev in the country, in particular in sports.

The guest of honor highlighted this point separately. Indeed, today the President of our country initiates large-scale projects aimed at the development of our country, which are widely discussed outside Uzbekistan.

As a result, Ahmad Al-Fahad Al-Sabah said that Uzbekistan will present the project of holding the Asian Games-2030 at one of the OCA Assemblies.
