Aichi, Japan. The Nagoya Asian Games Organizing Committee stated on the 27th that they were caught off guard by the complaints and complaints about the accommodation arranged for players and officials, and promised to make the players more comfortable during the last week of competition.

Different from previous Asian Games, this Aichi. In order to save money, the organizers of the Nagoya Asian Games did not spend money to build a traditional athlete village. Instead, more than 17,000 athletes and officials, more than the Olympic Games, lived in hotels, temporary wooden container houses and cruise ships. Some national delegations complained that the temporary wooden container houses were cramped and the beds were too short.

Responsible for Aichi. Matsuo Yuta, deputy director of the Nagoya Asian Games athlete accommodation, admitted that there were indeed some "problems beyond our expectations...but we believe that we have responded appropriately, so the delay in handling these issues has not caused major inconvenience to the athletes, nor has it made it difficult to proceed with the competition." Matsuo also said that they will continue to listen carefully to the needs, demands and appeals of players and address them in the future.

Officials from the Nagoya Asian Games Organizing Committee invited the media to visit the wooden container house on the 27th. There are 200 of these cabins for 2,000 athletes. Each has a floor area of ​​35 square meters (about 10.59 square meters) and a height from floor to ceiling of 2.3 meters. Each cabin can accommodate 3 to 4 people on average. The cabins where Asian Para Games athletes stay are equipped with toilets, and the beds are separated by curtains.

The interior walls of the cabin are made of unpainted pure wood, and you can smell the strong aroma of wood; although there is a kitchen sink installed in the cabin, there is no cooking equipment; the players all eat in a large public cafeteria with a shop, infirmary, gym and social hall.

Matsuo said he expected more questions to be asked and vowed to respond appropriately. Matsuo said that the needs and requirements of players will vary greatly depending on their cultural background and customs... "When problems arise, our focus has always been on how quickly and how we can respond at any time."
