The delegation of the Kurash Confederation of Asia attends the OCA meeting in Thailand one year ahead of the Asian Beach Games.

Exactly in one year time from now Thailand will be hosting the 4th Asian Beach Games which will be held on 14-23 November 2014.

Kurash was confirmed last month as an official sport in the official competition program of the Asian Beach Games in Thailand.

The 1st OCA-PABGOC-TD meeting in Phuket will last for two days and concentrate on technical and organizational matters to be settled between the OCA, Organizing committee and technical delegates representing each participating sport.

The KCA delegation in Phuket is leaded by the IKA Vice President and the President of the Kurash Confederation of Asia Mr. Haider Farman (Kuwait), who represents the Olympic Council of Asia at this meeting.

Thailand has been a strong supporter of the OCA events for many years, and the Thais will break new ground in 2014 when they host the popular Asian Beach Games for the first time in the resort paradise of Phuket. This will be the 4th Asian Beach Games organized under the umbrella of the Olympic Council of Asia, following Bali (Indonesia) in 2008, Muscat (Oman) in 2010 and Haiyang (China).

The slogan of the upcoming Games is “Celebrate Charming Sunshine”. The events will be held in two centers, popular Patong Beach and Karon Beach of the Phuket Island.
