withdrawn from hosting the games

Originally, Hanoi was chosen after OCA shortlisted also Surabaya and Dubai as the candidates to run for the host.
But on April 17, 2014, Vietnam Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung officially announced Hanoi's withdrawal from hosting the games.
He cited unpreparedness and economic recession as the main reasons of the withdrawal, as they have left the country unable to afford the construction of facilities and venues.

After the withdrawal, the OCA has said that Indonesia, China and the United Arab Emirates are candidates for the replacement of Hanoi.
On July 25, 2014, during the meeting in Kuwait City, the OCA has appointed Jakarta as host of the Games. Jakarta will be supported by Palembang as the supporting host.

The Indonesian capital city was chosen because it has well-equipped sport facilities as well as adequate transportation networks, and other facilities such hotels and lodgings for guests.
The Games however, was said to be rescheduled a year earlier, shifted from originally planned 2019 to 2018.
