The Asian Games are an intercontinental multi-sport event for athletes from Asia. They are a very large event that fosters friendship between nations through sports and contributes to world peace, just like the Olympics. The first Games were held in 1951 soon after World War II, and the number of participants has continued to grow to 45 member nations.

The Aichi-Nagoya Organising Committee has launched a new website dedicated to the 2026 Asian Games. The site contains information regarding the Aichi-Nagoya Games, including competition venues and schedules, competition rules and regulations, and ticketing info. It also includes a detailed map of Nagoya city and Aichi prefecture, highlighting the competition venues in both areas.
