TheAsian Indoor Games were amulti-sport event that was contested every two years among athletes representing countries fromAsia. The games were regulated by theOlympic Council of Asia. The first games were held in 2005 inBangkok,Thailand.

The sports program includedelectronic sports, extreme sports, aerobics, acrobatics, indoor athletics, dance sports, futsal, inline hockey,finswimming, and 25 metres short course swimming. The 2007 Asian Indoor Games inMacau also saw the first major test ofFIBA 3x3, a formalized version of three-on-three basketball that saw its official worldwide debut at the2010 Youth Olympics.[1] FIBA 3x3 was also contested in the 2009 Games.
Doha was given the rights to hold the fourth edition scheduled for 2011, but a year later, in June 2008, theQatar Olympic Committee officially withdrew as host citing "unforeseen circumstances".[2] In response, the OCA said that the2009 Asian Indoor Games would be the last edition of the games. The Asian Indoor Games andAsian Martial Arts Games would then combine, becoming the quadrennialAsian Indoor and Martial Arts Games. The inaugural event was held inIncheon,South Korea in 2013.
