The Olympic Council of Asia (OCA) says it will introduce esports to the official programme of the Asian Games at Hangzhou, China. It will also be a demonstration sport at the 2018 Asian Games in Indonesia. The Asian Games features a wide range of traditional Olympic sports along with others containing more regional appeal. Meanwhile, Indonesia wants 37 sports at the 2018 Asian Games, lower than the maximum of 42 previously announced by the OCA. The 2018 Asian Games will be held in Jakarta and Palembang from Aug 18-Sep 2 next year.
