Iran competed in the 2018 Asian Games in Jakarta and Palembang, Indonesia from 18 August to 2 September 2018. Iran has competed at the Asian Games since the first event in 1951 Delhi, and the best achievement was in 1974, when the country hosted the event in Tehran, by ranked second with the acquisition of 36 gold, 28 silver and 17 bronze medals.[2] At the latest edition in Incheon, the country wrapped up its campaign with 57 medals in all - 21 gold, 18 silver and 18 bronze.[3]
Iran participated at the Games with 378 athletes.[4] The National Olympic Committee of the Islamic Republic of Iran (NOCIRI) named the 19-year-old Iranian and bronze medalist at the 2016 Rio Olympic Games, Kimia Alizadeh, who carried the Iranian flag at the inauguration of the competitions.[5] But within 12 days to start of the tournament, she suffered a torn ACL injury during training. Elaheh Ahmadi was confirmed to replace her.[6] Minister of Sports and Youth Affairs, Masoud Soltanifar, eyes fourth place at the Games.[7]
