2004 South Asian Games
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 2004 South Asian Games, officially known as the IX South Asian Federation Games, were held in Islamabad, Pakistan from 29 March to 7 April 2004. Originally scheduled for 2001, the games were postponed in the wake of the 9/11 attacks on the United States in which the US later declared Pakistan a major non-NATO ally.[1][2][3] The slogan for the Games was Rising Above. For the first time, Afghanistan participated in the games.
