History




The Olympic Council of Asia Hymn


In 1948, during the 1948 Summer Olympics, Asian National Olympic Committees (NOCs) decided to organize the Asian Games. The following year the Asian Games Federation was organized leading to the establishment of the Olympic Council of Asia (OCA) in New Delhi on 16 November 1982. The International Olympic Committee recognized the OCA within the same year.[1]



Member countries


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.
