The Olympic Council of Asia, or OCA, is the international organization that represents the 45 National Olympic Committees of Asia and serves as the continental association for the region. It is affiliated with the International Olympic Committee and with its affiliated bodies, including the Association of National Olympic Committees. Its flagship event is the quadrennial Asian Games, held since 1951. The Asian Games Federation was organized in 1949, and the OCA was established in New Delhi on 16 November 1982 as its reorganized successor, recognized by the International Olympic Committee in the same year. Its 2023 presidential election was disputed after the IOC refused to recognise the result, and Randhir Singh was later elected president in July 2024.
