On October 18-24, 2026, Japan will host the 5th Asian Para Games.

According to the organizing committee of the 2026 Asian Para Games (AINAGOC), the slogan of the games, Imagine One Heart, captures how the Asian Para Games helps to break down barriers between persons with and without impairment, showing that we have much in common that unites us.

At the Asian Para Games, almost 4,000 athletes from 45 countries will compete in 18 sports. This is the largest para-sports competition after the Paralympic Games, which took place in Hangzhou on October 22-28, 2023. At that time, the Uzbekistan national team won 25 gold, 24 silver, and 30 bronze medals.
