INCHEON, South Korea — The Asian Games torch is arriving in host city Incheon on Wednesday, which means the countdown is almost complete.

The torch will be stored overnight before being carried on the final legs of its 6,000-kilometer journey around South Korea culminating in Friday night's opening ceremony.

The football tournament began Sunday and Japan, the defending men's champion, already has posted a victory over Kuwait. The Japanese men play their second game Wednesday night against Iraq, which took silver at the 1996 Asian Games and opened the 2014 tournament with a 4-0 win over Nepal. Host South Korea plays Saudi Arabia among the other matches.
