[1] Nagoya will be the first Japanese city to host the Asian Para Games.

The city was previously awarded the 2026 Asian Games on 26 September 2016 by the Olympic Council of Asia.

Uzumin, based on the words “Uzu” (whirlpool) and “Izumi” (spring), represents the hope that the athletes’ passion will converge like a “whirlwind” in Aichi-Nagoya, and that the emotion born there will emerge like a “spring” and spread throughout Asia.
