The Asian Games is a multi-sport event that honors Asia’s cultural diversity through sports. The inclusion of traditional sports like kabaddi or wushu highlights regional heritage and customs while modern Olympic sports demonstrate a commitment to global standards in athletics. This unique blend fosters inclusivity and attracts a broad audience, ultimately celebrating the continent’s multifaceted identity through sport.
The 2026 Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games will be the next big competition in the world of sports following the 2020 Tokyo Olympics and Paralympic Games. They will offer a chance to further deepen growing exchange within Asia and beyond.
In order to host the Games successfully, a wide variety of people need to work together. The governments of Aichi Prefecture and Nagoya City, various sports, economic and tourist organizations, mass media, businesses, and a large network of volunteers nurtured through past events will collaborate to make this event an amazing one.
The Organizing Committee is accelerating preparations in all areas to provide athletes with the ultimate stage for peak performance. This includes making full use of public transport systems, including JR lines (Tokaido Shinkansen and Tokaido Main Line), Kintetsu Railway and the subways operated by Nagoya Metropolitan Transportation Authority. Shuttle buses and measures to curb private cars around competition venues are also being considered to aid spectator movement. The Organizing Committee is also working to boost public awareness of the Games with a new slogan, “IMAGINE ONE ASIA.” This is a powerful message that encourages fans to unite with the athletes on the field and cheer them on.
