Host selection

On 3 August 2023, the Asian Paralympic Committee awarded the 2025 Asian Youth Para Games hosting rights to Tashkent, Uzbekistan.[3] This would mark the first time that the Asian Youth Games and Para Games will be hosted in the same city under the same Organising Committee, following the format of Asian Games and Asian Para Games. However, after Tashkent's exit as hosts, Dubai was awarded the hosting rights for the 2025 edition.[4]
