2026 ASIAN GAMES
September 19th – October 4th Nagoya, Aichi Prefecture, Japan LCM (50m) Meet CentralThe Asian Games may not mean much to the rest of the world, but for the nations of Japan, China, Singapore and beyond, the quadrennial multi-sport production carries significant weight and clout.
This year’s edition is no different, as the host city of Nagoya, Japan, is finalizing preparations for the competition, which begins next month.
Nearly 15,000 athletes and officials are expected at the Asian Games, with action spanning September 19th through October 4th.
Interestingly, athletes will be staying in non-standard accommodations; instead of an official athletes’ village, among other places, competitors will be lodged on the Italian cruise liner, ‘Costa Serena’.
According to Japan Today, between 4,000 and 5,000 athletes will stay on the ship, which features 571 cabins, seven swimming pools, eight restaurants and nine bars.
Officials are confident that the plan will not be disrupted by Japan’s typhoon season, which is usually in full swing in September-October.
A further 2,000 athletes and officials will stay in wooden shipping container-style huts in Nagoya’s Garden Pier area while the rest will stay in hotels.
Kazuhiro Yagi, vice-secretary general of the Aichi-Nagoya Games organizing committee, recently stated, “The final stages of preparation are now upon us. We will continue working as one right until the last moment and we hope that people from all over Asia, not just Japan, will enjoy the event.” (Japan Today)
“For the athletes, the accommodation is a place to relax and socialise with their fellow competitors,” said Yagi. “To ensure that all athletes can enjoy a comfortable stay and deliver their best performance, preparations for accommodation are entering their final stage.”
As always at the Asian Games, traditional sports like athletics, swimming and football sit side by side with more local disciplines such as kabaddi, sepak takraw and wushu.
New events at the 20th edition of the Games include mixed martial arts, padel, teqball and virtual taekwondo.
