The Olympic Council of Asia (OCA) has confirmed that preparations for the upcoming 2029 Asian Winter Games in Saudi Arabia are progressing as planned. This announcement comes amid discussions about potential alternative hosts, with South Korea and China being considered due to their recent experiences hosting the Winter Olympics in 2018 and 2022, respectively.

Despite these considerations, the OCA remains confident in Saudi Arabia's ability to deliver a successful event. The organization has emphasized its commitment to supporting the host nation in overcoming any challenges that may arise in the lead-up to the games. The Asian Winter Games are set to showcase winter sports and promote regional unity through athletic competition.

As the event approaches, the OCA is focused on ensuring that all logistical and infrastructural elements are addressed effectively. The successful execution of this event could mark a significant milestone for Saudi Arabia in its ongoing efforts to diversify its economy and enhance its global sports profile.
