2010 Islamic Solidarity Games
The 2nd Islamic Solidarity Games (Persian: بازی‌های همبستگی اسلامی ۲۰۱۰) were going to be an international sporting event scheduled to be held in Iran from 16–30 October 2009. The Games were later postponed to 9–25 April 2010, and eventually cancelled following a dispute between the host country and Saudi Arabia, over how the body of water located between Iran and the Arabian Peninsula was to be called. 
== Suspension and cancellation of Games ==
It was reported 3 May 2009 that Iran had suspended the games due to a dispute over the use of the term Persian Gulf.  Saudi Arabia and other Arabic countries disapproved of the use of the term Persian Gulf on literature and medals and insisted the term Arabian Gulf or just Gulf be used instead.  Iran claimed it was still in talks to try to salvage the games.
On 17 January 2010, the governing body of the ISG reported that the event had been cancelled due to the tension between Arab states and Iran over the name of the body of water.
