The Asian Games owes its origins to small Asian multi-sport competitions
The Asian Games owes its origins to small Asian multi-sport competitions. The Far Eastern Championship
Games were created to show unity and cooperation among three nations: Japan, the Philippines and China. The
first games were held in Manila, the Philippines in 1931. Other Asian nations participated after they were
organized.
After World War II, a number of Asian countries became independent. Many of the new independent
Asian countries wanted to use a new type of competition where Asian dominance authority should not be shown
by violence and should be strengthened by mutual understanding. In August 1948, during the 14th Olympic Games
in London, India representative Guru Dutt Sondhi proposed to sports leaders of the Asian teams the idea of having
discussions about holding the Asian Games. They agreed to form the Asian Athletic Federation. A preparatory
was set up to draft the charter for the Asian amateur athletic federation. In February, 1949, the Asian athletic
federation was formed and used the name Asian Games Federation. It was formed and used the name Asian Games
Federation. It was decided to hold the first Asian Games in 1951 in New Delhi, the capital of India. They added
that the Asian Games would be regularly held once every four years.
