Randhir Singh to Step Down as OCA President Due to Ill Health

Randhir Singh, who is 79 years old, is the president of the Olympic Council of Asia (OCA).

He got sick and can't do his job anymore.

So, the OCA will choose a new president on January 26, 2025, in Tashkent, Uzbekistan.

The new president will be Sheikh Joaan bin Hamad Al Thani.

Randhir was supposed to be president until 2028, but now he will step down early.

He was the first Indian to be elected as OCA president.

Before this, he was the acting president from 2021 to 2024.

The Asian Games will be held in Japan later this year, so the new president's role is important.
