The 3rd Islamic Solidarity Games (Indonesian: Pesta Olahraga Solidaritas Islam 2013) was an international sporting event held in Palembang, Indonesia from 22 September to 1 October 2013. The 2009 event, originally scheduled to take place in Iran, and later rescheduled for April 2010, was cancelled after a dispute arose between Iran and the Arab countries.
Host selection
Indonesia was announced as the host for the Games in April 2011 with Pekanbaru, Riau, as the host city.[1] The Games were then relocated to Jakarta citing lack of standard in some venues combined with a corruption case involving Governor of Riau, Rusli Zainal.[2] Palembang was finally selected as the host city and the Games were delayed about three months from the original time frame in June.[3]

Sports bikini controversy
The Games faced a controversy over female athletes competing in sports bikinis. Some participating nations demanded that all sportswomen competing in the athletics, beach volleyball and swimming events wear body-covering sporting outfits instead of the usual, functional and official
The organizing committee refused to fully comply with the demands stating that only the countries ruled by Islamic governments among the 44 participants with Muslim population opposed the two-piece sporting outfits standardized in international sports dress code. The organizers ruled that the use of sports bikinis is set optional so that sportswomen may wear religious-based outfits.[4]
