Nagoya: The State of Qatar has formally received the Asian Para Games Flag at the Closing Ceremony of the Aichi-Nagoya 2026 Asian Para Games, marking the transition to Doha as the next host of the Asian Para Games in 2030.

The handover follows Qatar's receipt of the Asian Games Flag earlier this month and reinforces Doha 2030's commitment to welcoming athletes from across Asia for both the Asian Games and Asian Para Games.

Dr. Ahmad Abdulla Al-Buenain, Chief Executive Officer of the Doha 2030 Asian Games Organising Committee, said: "Receiving the Asian Para Games Flag is a proud and meaningful moment for Qatar. It reflects our responsibility as the next host and our belief that athletes must remain at the heart of every Games experience. Our ambition is to welcome athletes from across Asia into an environment where they are respected, supported and able to perform at their best."

The handover marks the beginning of Qatar's journey towards hosting the Asian Para Games in 2030 and reflects the spirit of "The Games We Live For," the Doha 2030 slogan built around the dreams of athletes, people, and nations. Team Qatar concluded its participation in the fifth Asian Para Games with four medals - two silver and two bronze - in swimming and athletics. Team Qatar was represented by 12 athletes competing in swimming, athletics, and goalball.
