The third edition of the Asian Youth Games (AYG) will take place in Bahrain. Known as the "Pearl of the Gulf", Bahrain is renowned not only for its long history of pearl harvesting, but also as a vibrant hub where modernity and ancient tradition blend, connecting Eastern and Western cultures. Bahrain is devoted to inspiring youth through sports, while leveraging sports development as a dynamic engine for tourism and economic growth. AYG provides a valuable platform for young athletes across Asia to showcase their talents and gain experience in international competitions, laying a solid foundation for future success on a greater stage.

As a cradle for emerging athletes, AYG offers an exciting opportunity for our young athletes to embrace challenges with an open mind, forge friendships with top peers from across Asia through friendly competitions, and demonstrate their determination and pursuit of excellence under the beautiful coastal skies of Bahrain. It is also a great opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of this Belt and Road economy and broaden their international horizons.

Let us all come together to support our young athletes competing at the Bahrain AYG, and witness them shine on the international stage!
