The first Asian Indoor and Martial Arts Games, which is also counted as the 4th Asian Indoor Games and designated as AIGs 4 was held in Incheon, South Korea, from 29 June to 6 July 2013, despite the ongoing 2013 Korean crisis. It was initially slated for Doha, Qatar, after the country cancelled the last edition of Asian Indoor Games in 2011.[2][3] However, Incheon was chosen as a replacement instead by the OCA.[2][4] This event also acted as a test event and a prelude to the 2014 Asian Games.

Venues

Nine different venues were used for these Games:[5]

Participating nations

Barame, Chumuro, and Vichuan

All 45 member countries of the Olympic Council of Asia were invited to compete at these Games.[4] However, 43 OCA countries took part in this edition. North Korea and Timor-Leste declined to send their athletes to these Games.[1] Indian athletes participated the Games under the Olympic flag because the Indian Olympic Association was suspended.
