Line 19:
The '''Afro-Asian Games''' were the series of inter-continental [[multi-sport]] competitions, held between athletes from [[Asia]] and [[Africa]]. These Games are one-of-a-kind, since no other sporting competition brings athletes from these two continents together for one event, excluding the [[Olympic Games]]. These Games are supposed to be held once every four years. They are jointly supervised by the [[Olympic Council of Asia]] (OCA), and the [[Association of National Olympic Committees of Africa]] (ANOCA).
The Afro-Asian Games witness the participation of Asian and African [[National Olympic Committees]] (NOCs), along with a few [[Commonwealth Games Federation]] (CGF) nations.
