Qatar and the Olympic Council of Asia are working on a preliminary programme of around 40 sports for the 2030 Asian Games, according to SGGP. The proposed list includes Olympic sports and disciplines with a strong regional following, such as sepak takraw and kabaddi. The final sports, disciplines and medal events will be determined through further planning. The figure of 40 therefore describes a working proposal, rather than a completed competition schedule or a final decision on every sport's inclusion.
