Meghalaya will be hosting the upcoming North East Olympics Games beginning October 30 till November 6, 2022 in Shillong.
Meghalaya will hold the second North East Olympic Games, 2022, in Shillong from October 30 to November 6, this year. The region's first Olympic games were held in Manipur in October 2018, but the pandemic cancelled the second edition, which was scheduled to be held in Arunachal Pradesh. As a result, this year's North East Olympic Games 2.0 in Shillong aims to bridge the long gap for aspiring athletes in the region to improve themselves.
The events will include archery, badminton, basketball, boxing, football, judo, karate, shooting, swimming, table tennis, taekwondo, tennis, wushu, cycling (mountain bike), golf, weightlifting, and wrestling. This year, about 4,000 athletes from Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland, Sikkim, and Tripura will compete in eighteen Olympic sports disciplines in 13 venues spread across this picturesque pine city, compared to the 2000 athletes competing in 12 disciplines at the first games.
