Volleyball was introduced in the Asian Games in ____ for women.
1962
Volleyball is a team sport played between two sides of six players separated by a high net, and it has long featured in continental multi-sport events such as the Asian Games.
The men's volleyball competition appeared earlier in the history of the Asian Games, but the women's event was added to the programme somewhat later.
Women's volleyball made its debut at the Asian Games in 1962, at the fourth edition of the Games held in Jakarta, Indonesia.
This marked the first time that the women's volleyball competition was contested at the continental Asian Games, expanding participation for women athletes in the sport.
The years 1951, 1954 and 1982 do not correspond to the introduction of women's volleyball at the Asian Games; 1951 and 1954 were early editions of the Games and the Asian Games did not begin the women's event in those years.
Therefore, women's volleyball was introduced in the Asian Games in 1962.
