IOC, OCA chiefs to tour Asian Games athletes' village ahead of Games
International Olympic Committee President Kirsty Coventry and Olympic Council of Asia President Sheikh Joaan bin Hamad Al Thani will visit the Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games athletes' village on September 20. They will tour Garden Pier and meet athletes. These Games have no traditional village, so athletes stay on a cruise liner, temporary villas and Nagoya hotels. The Games run from September 19 to October 4.
Key Statutory Highlights
