From the Asian Games to the Asian Para Games: another story of connection through sport.
Held from September 19 to October 4, 2026, ONE ASIA WORLD (OAW) was the official celebration event of the Aichi–Nagoya Asian Games. For 16 special days, it brought the excitement and emotion of the Games to the heart of Nagoya, connecting people through sport.
Cheering on athletes, sharing joy and excitement, and coming together across nationalities and generations: the sense of unity that spread beyond the competition venues reminded us of the possibilities that sport can create.
Now, that inspiration and spirit continue to the next stage.
ONE HEART WORLD (OHW) will take place at Oasis 21 in Nagoya from October 18 to 24, 2026.
From OAW to OHW.
As the stage moves from the Asian Games to the Asian Para Games, a new story of shared inspiration begins.
The concept behind OHW is “IMAGINE ONE HEART.”
It expresses a hope for a future where everyone can connect through sport and share its emotion, regardless of nationality, culture, age or disability, while recognising each other’s individuality and differences.
Athletes from countries and regions across Asia will take on new challenges. Their performances will inspire courage and hope, and create moments that move us. OHW aims to bring that appeal of sport beyond the competition venues, creating a place where everyone can drop in, participate, enjoy themselves and connect.
The connections that began at OAW will grow into an even wider circle at OHW.
The emotion of sport knows no boundaries. A single cheer can give someone courage, and one encounter can open the door to a new future.
From ONE ASIA WORLD to ONE HEART WORLD.
Bringing the inspiration born in Asia to every heart.
Seven new days of bringing hearts together begin in Nagoya.
