To be held under the patronage of Sheikh Mansoor bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Chairman of the Dubai Sports Council, the 5th Asian Youth Para Games will take place from December 7 to December 14 in Dubai featuring 11 sports.
This is the second time Dubai will host the Games – it first hosted the Asian Youth Para Games in 2017.
During the signing ceremony, Al Usaimi thanked Sheikh Mansoor for his commitment to the continuation of the Asian Youth Para Games, after the original host city Tashkent was unable to go ahead with staging games, originally scheduled for October.
The APC President emphasised that this stance demonstrates the UAE and Dubai's commitment to supporting the People of Determination across all sectors.
Al Usaimi also thanked the Dubai Club for People of Determination's initiative to host this important Asian event, noting that the club has taken numerous stances under difficult circumstances, demonstrating its full commitment to the development of the international Paralympic movement.
