This was the 11th edition of the event and was held at Kobe Universiade Memorial Stadium in Japan, from 17 to 25 May 2024.[1] This was the first time the event was held in East Asia.[2][3]
The event was initially scheduled for September 2021 but it was rescheduled to avoid clashing with the 2020 Summer Paralympics which were rescheduled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[4][5]
In January 2022, the organisers requested World Para Athletics for postponement of the event until 2024 due to COVID-19 concerns.[6] A week later, World Para Athletics confirmed that the event would not be held in 2022.[7]
