Furthermore, for the next Asian championship, when it was decided that it would be held, JSC / Japan Sports Promotion Center applied for the “Sports Promotion Fund” subsidy and planned to use it as part of the financial resources.
However, since the grant for this fund has been changed to either an international convention or a national convention from this fiscal year, the Japan Association prioritizes the application for the national convention and has to secure a large amount of independent funds to hold the Asian Championship. It was in a situation that could not be.
For this reason, the Japan Association has decided not to hold the Asian Championship and to return it to an international competition organization.
