During the Parade of Nations at the 2018 Asian Games opening ceremony, beginning at 19:00 WIB (UTC+7) on 18 August 2018, athletes bearing the flags of their respective nations led their national delegations as they paraded into the Gelora Bung Karno Stadium in the co-host city of Jakarta, Indonesia, preceded by their flag and placard bearer. Each flag bearer had been chosen either by the nation's National Olympic Committee or by the athletes themselves. In keeping with tradition, the host nation, Indonesia entered last. 44 teams marched in (43 nations and the Unified Korea team).[1]
Although the Games were held in Indonesia, English was used to organize the Parade of Nations (as per Olympic Council of Asia protocol determines that this element could be held in French or the International Olympic Committee three-letter codes) instead of Indonesian, the official language of the nation. Had the parade followed the Indonesian script, Afghanistan would have been followed by Saudi Arabia, and Jordan would have been the penultimate country before Indonesia.
