There are just four days to go until the start of the main action in Indonesia at the 2018 Asian Games with the opening ceremony on August 18.
However, there are still some qualification stages being played out to determine the final qualifiers for the main tournaments before Saturday’s opening ceremony.
Here is what’s coming up on Wednesday, August 15, with Hong Kong in basketball, football and handball action.
