The 16th Asian Games (also known as the XVI Asiad) will be held in Guangzhou, China from November 2, 2010 to November 18, 2010.

Bidding cities

Four cities were bidding for this event at the early days of March 2004. They were Amman, Guangzhou, Kuala Lumpur and Seoul. However, Seoul withdrew after considering the short span of time between the 2002 (in Busan, South Korea) and the 2010 event. [1] With the withdrawal of Amman, soon after Seoul, Kuala Lumpur also quit the bid after the country's Sports Minister boycotted for the high cost of hosting the games. [2] [3] With Guangzhou left, the OCA annouced the city won the bid to host the Asian Games in July 2004. [4]
