In this Games, athletes from the Arab nations, as well as Iran, Pakistan, China, and North Korea – all of which refused to play with Israel; not in any of these 1974 Asian Games' events: tennis, fencing, basketball and football (soccer) – because of political reasons.[2]
Two years after the Games, Asian Games Federation barred Israel from participating in the 1978 Asian Games. In July 1976 the 25 members of the Asian Games Federation were canvassed to see if Israel should participate in the 1978 Games, with all 12 responses received voting against including Israel.[3]
The real reason is that the Federation has seven Arab countries and China and they want to expel us.
—President of the Israel Olympic Committee, Joseph Inbar[4]
