| Additional information |
Qatar hosted the 15th Asian Games in December 2006 — the first Gulf state to do so — and issued a commemorative series across multiple sports to mark the occasion. Tennis was included despite being a minor event at the Games historically, reflecting Qatar's broader ambition to position Doha as a serious international sporting venue. The Doha Games drew 45 nations and over 9,500 athletes, making them the largest Asian Games to that point.
KM#32 is one of several near-identical issues in the series, differentiated only by sport.
