In 2010, at the tournament in China, the Kyrgyzstan team was unable to secure a single victory, losing all three matches and failing to advance from the group stage.
In 2014, in South Korea, the team reached the playoffs, surpassing the Iranian team, but lost to Jordan in the Round of 16 after extra time.
At the 2018 Asian Games in Indonesia, the Kyrgyz team again failed to advance past the group stage.
In 2022 in China, the team reached the playoffs, but in their first game, they suffered a defeat to Korea with a score of 1:5.
