The Olympic Council of Asia has “confirmed the postponement of the 2029 edition” of the winter games, which were set to be hosted at the unbuilt Trojena ski resort in Neom, Saudi Arabia.
Earlier this week, the Olympic Council of Asia (OCA) and the Saudi Olympic and Paralympic Committee jointly announced that the 2029 Asian Winter Games will be postponed for an unspecified period of time.
“The Saudi Olympic and Paralympic Committee and the Olympic Council of Asia have agreed on an updated framework for future hosting of the Asian Winter Games, confirming the postponement of the 2029 edition to a later date to be announced in due course,” said the organisations in a statement.
No official reason was given for the delay, and it is unclear if the event will still be hosted at Trojena but at a later date, or if an alternative host will be sought for the 2029 event. More
