Najúya withdraws from Athlete Village project
The Organizing Committee for the Nagoya 2026 Asian Games avoided building an athletes' village, instead relying on hotels, temporary housing units, and a cruise ship. This approach allowed them to save approximately 60 billion yen in costs, bringing the total savings to 102 billion yen. The reason behind this decision was to prevent the construction of a large, temporary facility that would later become a costly asset with low utilization, often referred to as the "white elephant." Despite challenges related to transportation and accommodation, this model reduces capital expenditures and distributes athletes across various accommodation options. It is expected that the event will boost the national economy and create around 271,000 jobs. Saudi Arabia participated with 138 athletes across 18 sports.
