Asian Games to be held in Japan for the first time in 32 years, opening in Nagoya in 2026
In 2026, the 20th Asian Games will be held in Aichi Prefecture and Nagoya City, Japan. This event marks Asia's largest sports festival returning to Japan for the first time in 32 years, following the 1994 Hiroshima Games.
This Asian Games is expected to serve as a venue where Asian nations unite through sports. The organizers are accelerating preparations to welcome the athletes and are inspecting stadium facilities to ensure the successful operation of the event.
South Korean athletes are also working hard for this competition. In particular, they are establishing systematic training and strategies to achieve strong results in popular sports such as soccer and baseball.
As the skills of South Korean players active on the international stage, such as in the Premier League (EPL), have recently improved, high-level matches are expected at this Asian Games as well. Many Korean fans are looking forward to the performance of the Taegeuk Warriors.
The 2026 Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games will be an important opportunity to confirm the future of Asian sports. We hope this event will be a success that strengthens friendship among Asian nations and promotes the spirit of sportsmanship.
