Anyone know where to watch the asian games matches? Youtube doesnt seem to have them at least not in usa

Not all games are streamed. For the games which are streamed, there is a youtube account who is restreaming it. Here's the link of the Korea vs Vietnam earlier when Vietnam completed a reverse sweep vs Korea. You can probably check that account from time to time if they are streaming the matches you want. I've watched the Japan vs Hong Kong on that account yesterday.

Sharing this one here. The Afghanistan Volleyball Team is currently competing in the Asian Games. They lost all their sets having scored only 5 or less, with even having 0-25. But there is a bigger story in this fight.

From the article: www.reuters.com/sports/displaced-afghan-women-athletes-defy-taliban-asian-games-2023-09-27/

HANGZHOU, China, Sept 27 (Reuters) - On a pristine volleyball court on the seventh floor of a massive training centre in the Chinese city of Hangzhou, a team of Afghanistan women prepare for their first Asian Games in defiance of the Taliban government's antipathy toward female sport.

Though separated from families and scattered across Asia, the volleyballers have assembled at the multi-sport event with the support of Olympic officials and the sport's global federation. Some fled Afghanistan when the Taliban came to power in the wake of the Tokyo Olympics in 2021, fearing persecution from a government that has effectively banned women's sport.

With little prospect of returning home, they have rebuilt their lives in Pakistan, Iran and other countries, playing sport in effective exile.
Now in Hangzhou, they yearn to give hope to the hopeless - the women athletes left behind in their homeland.

"Nowadays, they are looking for hope," Mursal Khedri, a Pakistan-based, 24-year-old member of the volleyball team, told Reuters.
"By seeing us here they can find hope that we (women) can also participate in sports."

The Taliban administration say they respect women's rights in line with their interpretation of Islamic law and Afghan custom and that they have declared a "general amnesty" against their former foes under the previous foreign backed government.
