The Olympic Council of Asia's (OCA) General Assembly next month is planned as both an in-person and online event.
It was revealed this week that the key meeting has been planned for Oman's capital Muscat on December 16.
The main order of business will be selecting the host of the 2030 Asian Games from the two-horse race between fierce regional rivals Qatar and Saudi Arabia.
Both oil-rich countries have put forward their capitals Doha and Riyadh respectively with the contest particularly intriguing due to a diplomatic crisis between the bordering nations.
It is hoped that Asian National Olympic Committees will be able to travel to Muscat but the General Assembly will also be available virtually for those who are unable to do so due to coronavirus restrictions.
Doha and Riyadh both submitted their candidature files to the OCA by the deadline of Sunday (October 4), and both have described the 2030 Games as a "national priority".
