The Men's 56 kilograms event at the 2018 Asian Games took place on 20 August 2018 at the Jakarta International Expo Hall A. [1]
The 2018 Asian Games, officially known as the 18th Asian Games and also known as Jakarta–Palembang 2018, was a pan-Asian multi-sport event held from 18 August to 2 September 2018 in the Indonesian cities of Jakarta and Palembang. The Olympic Council of Asia (OCA) originally awarded the games to Hanoi, Vietnam in November 2012, but the hosting rights were given up seventeen months later. Indonesia, which originally finished second in the bid, was considered as the strongest replacement candidate and eventually awarded the rights amid the 2014 games. Surabaya, the city put forward during the bid, was replaced by Jakarta and Palembang, having hosted the 2011 Southeast Asian Games together.
Jakarta International Expo or JIExpo is a convention and exhibition center located at Pademangan in Jakarta, Indonesia. Opened in 2010, it was developed by the Central Cipta Murdaya group. Built in the area of the former Kemayoran Airport, it covers approximately 44 hectares, with 100,000 square meters of exhibition and convention area. Jakarta International Expo has five halls with a capacity of 5,000 to 12,000 seats.
