XIV South Asian Games 2024 / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 2024 South Asian Games, officially the XIV South Asian Games, will be a major multi-sport event which will be held in Pakistan, and will have Lahore, the capital of Punjab province as main host city.[1][2][3] The cities of Faisalabad, Gujranwala, Islamabad and Sialkot will give support to Lahore hosting some sports.[4][5][6] The Games were scheduled to be held in March 2023,[7] but later postponed to March 2024 by SAOC members at the Olympic Council of Asia (OCA) conference in Phnom Penh, Cambodia.[8][9] This will mark the third time that Pakistan has hosted the South Asian Games since 1989 and 2004, and the first time that Pakistan has hosted the event outside of Islamabad.
