The 2022 ASEAN Para Games, officially known as the 11th ASEAN Para Games, and commonly known as Surakarta 2022 (or Solo 2022), was a biannual multi-sport event for athletes with physical disabilities in Southeast Asia. It was held from 30 July to 6 August 2022 in Surakarta, Indonesia. All 11 countries in the region participated.
Originally set to be hosted by Vietnam in 2021, the Games were initially cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic just before its hosting rights were transferred to Indonesia. It is also originally scheduled from 23 to 30 July 2022, later moved to 30 July to 6 August 2022.[1][2]
Development and preparation
[edit]Host selection
[edit]Originally the 2021 ASEAN Para Games was intended to be held in Vietnam, the same host nation as the 2021 Southeast Asian Games. The games were planned amidst the COVID-19 pandemic in Vietnam, posing logistical challenges in organizing the event.[3]
Originally scheduled to be held from 17 to 23 December 2021,[4] games were cancelled in October, as they planned after the 2021 SEA Games was postponed to May 2022 due to the pandemic.[5] This would have been the second time Vietnam would have hosted the games, last staging them in 2003.[6]
Malaysia and Indonesia expressed willingness to host the games as an alternative to its cancellation. The Philippines has supported moving the games to a country willing to host the games even if lesser number of events will be staged.[7]
In January 2022, Surakarta in Indonesia and their neighbouring cities were announced as the host city for the games.[8] However hosting rights could not be immediately awarded due to World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) sanctions in effect at the time. The hosting rights was only formally awarded to Indonesia on 16 February 2022 after the sanctions were lifted.
Venues
[edit]Almost all of the 2022 ASEAN Para Games held in Greater Solo (11 in Surakarta, 2 in Karanganyar). Originally, swimming also will be held in Karanganyar, but later moved to Semarang due to lack of preparation.[9][10]
