Israel participated in the 1974 Asian Games held in Tehran, Iran from 1 September 1974 to 16 September 1974. This was the last appearance of Israel in Asian Games. Athletes from Israel won overall 19 medals, including seven gold, and finished sixth in a medal table.
In this Games, athletes from the Arab nations, Pakistan, China and North Korea refused to play with Israel in tennis, fencing, basketball and football events, due to political reasons.
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.
The real reason is that the Federation has seven Arab countries and China and they want to expel us.
Coach: Abraham Hemo
