Afghanistan at the 2022 Asian Games
Afghanistan competed at the 2022 Asian Games in Hangzhou, Zhejiang, China, which was held from 23 September 2023 to 8 October 2023.[4][5] These games marked Afghanistan's best ever performance at the Asian Games with the country winning 5 medals in total.[6] BackgroundThis was the first time Afghanistan competed in the Asian Games since the Taliban takeover of the country following the fall of Kabul in 2021.[7] The Afghanistan delegation consisted of two groups, an all-male contingent backed by the Taliban and another supported by Hafizullah Wali Rahimi, who was president of the Afghanistan National Olympic Committee prior to the Taliban takeover. The latter group were from the Afghan diaspora and included women.[7] Their chef de mission was Khwaja Hashmatullah Rasa.[8] The Taliban rejected Afghanistan's entire participation with women athletes in the games at all.[9] Afghanistan still competed under the old Islamic Republic tricolor flag, instead of the white banner preferred by the Taliban. The contingent at the opening ceremony included women, with Mohsen Rezaee and Kamia Yousufi as flagbearers.[1] Medal summaryMedalistsThe following Afghanistan competitors won medals at the Games.
