Olympic organisers have reportedly approached South Korea about hosting the 2029 Asian Winter Games over doubts about whether Saudi Arabia<\/a>‘s unbuilt Trojena<\/a> ski resort will be ready in time.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to a report by news agency Reuters<\/a>, the Olympic Council of Asia (OCA) has formally contacted the Korean Sport and Olympic Committee (KSOC) to sound out the idea of the country hosting the event, which is currently planned to take place at the not-yet-built Trojena<\/a> ski resort.<\/p>\n

“Senior OCA officials met the KSOC president last month and asked about South Korea potentially hosting the games in 2029, the KSOC official said, speaking on condition of anonymity, adding that the OCA had subsequently made the enquiry in a formal letter to the KSOC,” wrote Reuters.<\/p>\n
