Cambodia has officially withdrawn form the ASEAN Para Games starting in Thailand from January 20th to 26th.
In a letter dated 8th January 2026 and addressed to APSF President Major General Osoth Bhavilai, National Paralympic Committee of Cambodia (NPC Cambodia) informed the Federation that, due to unforeseen circumstances, its athletes and their families will not be participating in the upcoming biennial Games.
The letter was signed by His Excellency Yi Veasna, Secretary-General of NPC Cambodia.
“While we regret Cambodia’s absence from the 13th ASEAN Para Games, APSF fully respects the decision conveyed by NPC Cambodia under its prevailing circumstances,” said APSF President Major General Osoth Bhavilai.
The withdrawal was expected due to the ongoing border tension between the two countries that also saw the Kingdom withdrawing from the SEA Games last December.
