Background of the "2024 Unlimited Sports Festival

In 2017, the world's first "Unlimited Para Athletics" event was launched as a "fusion event where athletes with and without disabilities compete on the same field.

In 2023, in order to further promote diversity and fusion, the "Para" name was dropped and the event was re-launched as the "Unlimited Sports Festival" by incorporating a wide range of sports, not limited to track and field events.
