Initially, the Games was scheduled in 2021 but it was delayed because of the COVID-19 pandemic. It was rescheduled three times in March 2022, November 2023 and March 2024 but never happened.
Early this year, the Olympic Council of Asia and hosts Thailand agreed to finalise the date of November 16-30.
