The 2022 Asian Games was initially scheduled in 2022, but was postponed to 2023 due to concerns over COVID-19 in China.
The International Olympic Committee recognizes the event as the second largest multi-sport event after the Olympics.
Esports was originally added to the Asian Games sports program at the OCA General Assembly in Muscat, Oman on December 16, 2020. The first esports game played in Asian Games was played at the 19th Asian Games in Indonesia in 2018. However, those games were not a medaled event, just a demonstration tournament.
The Asian Electronic Sports Federation, which is based in Hong Kong, China, has been appointed Technical Delegate of the esports competition at the 19th Asian Games by the OCA. The AESF will be in charge of the qualifying competition and for the operation and management of the esports competition in Hangzhou.
