Early games

Mizuho Park Athletic Stadium: The Asian Games may have officially begun amid a colourful opening ceremony in Nagoya, but for several athletes, the start of the continental showpiece has been accompanied by confusion, logistical challenges, and concerns over arrangements.

Indian athletes are not the only ones to have faced such issues. Athletes from other participating nations have also voiced complaints about the arrangements, with some taking photographs of the problems they encountered and sharing them on social media.

The concerns have encompassed accommodation, transportation, communication, and other logistical arrangements, intensifying the sense of uncertainty in the days before the opening ceremony.
