The Asian Indoor Games features a diversified sport program with many events that are neither included in the Olympic Games nor in the Asian Games. Petanque, which as a sport is gaining popularity in Asia will be included for the first time, and there is hope that it will become the first step to have the discipline also present at the larger Asian Games to be held in Guangzhou, China in 2010.
