The 2024 Asian Indoor and Martial Arts Games, officially known as the 6th Asian Indoor and Martial Arts Games and also known as Bangkok–Chonburi 2024, is an upcoming pan-Asian multi-sport event in indoor and martial arts sports held from 21 to 30 November 2024 in Thailand, with its capital Bangkok and the eastern Thai province of Chonburi serving as joint co-hosts.[2]
Originally scheduled to take place from 21 to 30 May 2021, the event has been postponed four times due to various occasions. It was pushed back twice as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, first rescheduled to be held from 10 to 20 March 2022,[3][4] and then from 17 to 26 November 2023.[5] However, the event was postponed again due to political uncertainty in the country following the Thai general election; the Games were then timetabled for 24 February to 6 March 2024, but were rescheduled once more citing its five-month proximity to the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris.[6]
The Olympic Council of Asia (OCA) officially awarded the Games to Bangkok and Chonburi Province and signed the hosting rights contract in April 2020.[7]
This will be the first AIMAG (and the third OCA-sanctioned event after the 2011 Asian Winter Games in Astana and Almaty, Kazakhstan and the 2018 Asian Games in Jakarta and Palembang, Indonesia) to be jointly co-hosted by two cities or regions; it will also be Bangkok's third time to host the event after staging the first Asian Indoor Games in 2005 and the only iteration of the Asian Martial Arts Games in 2009 (both Games were eventually merged in 2013). This edition of the AIMAG will mark the debuts for badminton, baseball5, BMX cycling, cheerleading, floorball, indoor rowing, netball, shooting and volleyball, and will see a record-high number of sports in the event's history, at a total of 30.
