The West Asian Games (abbreviated as the WAG) is a multi-sport event held among the athletes from West Asia.
The West Asian Games was first organised in Tehran, Iran and was considered as the first of its kind. The success of the Games led to the creation of the West Asian Games Federation (WAGF) and the intention of hosting the Games every four years. At present, the WAGF comprises 12 member countries, namely Bahrain, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Oman, Palestine, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Syria, the United Arab Emirates and Yemen.[1]
The West Asian Games is one of the five subregional Games of the Olympic Council of Asia (OCA). The others are the Central Asian Games, the East Asian Youth Games, the South Asian Games, and the Southeast Asian Games.[2]
The fourth edition of the West Asian Games was scheduled to take place in Iran in 2014,[3] but was then postponed to 2016.[4] It was eventually cancelled after Iran moved its athletics region from West Asia to Central Asia in September 2015.[5]
