With the ending of the 19th Asian Games at city of Hangzhou in China, let’s have a look at the host countries, champions / winners, top teams, timeline / history, evolution of the game of football in each edition of Asian Games from 1951 to 2023.
Football was there in the Asian Games Since very beginning. In the latest edition the South Korea vs Japan final has won by South Korea & became the gold medalists. Also South Korea is the most successful team in the tournament history with 6 golds, 3 silver & 3 bronze followed by Iran, India, Myanmar, Taiwan, Japan, North Korea, Iraq, Uzbekistan, Qatar, Kuwait, China, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates (UAE), Israel, Malaysia & Indonesia. India was able to become the champion of first edition held at Delhi in 1951 & then in the 4th edition held at Jakarta in 1962.
Note: In 1970 & 1978 since the scores were equal at the extra time, gold medal is given to both the finalists. Hence there was no second place in those editions. The "Year" displayed in the video is the year belongs to the particular edition. In that case the 2022 edition was actually held in 2023.
