An important moment of the Assembly was the announcement that Raja Randhir Singh, who previously held the position of President of the Olympic Council of Asia, would be unable to continue his duties due to health issues. He was succeeded by Sheikh Joaan bin Hamad Al Thani, President of the Qatar Olympic Committee, who became the 22nd President of the OCA and will serve until 2028. Sheikh Joaan was the only candidate in the elections and was elected unopposed.
