Since then, they have been held every four years in principle. The Asian Para Games are a comprehensive multi-sport event for athletes with disabilities in the Asian region, succeeding the Far East and South Pacific Games for the Disabled (FESPIC Games), which were first held in Oita in 1975 at Japan's initiative.
