Korean American Para-Sports Association Eyes Chicago 2028, Regional Expansion at Las Vegas Meeting

The Korea Para-Sports Association of USA held a general meeting in Las Vegas on November 7, focusing on preparations for its fourth nationwide para-sports games, planned for Chicago in 2028, and on expanding its regional network.

According to the association, the meeting at the Gold Coast Casino and Hotel addressed cooperation among regional sports organizations and future programs. Preparations for the Chicago event, planned for the second week of June 2028, were a central agenda item.

The association outlined plans to expand opportunities for people with disabilities to participate in sport, support promising athletes and strengthen recreational sports. Its stated aim is to connect major events with a broader, lasting base of local participation.

Las Vegas was chosen partly because the association does not yet have a chapter there. It said the meeting was intended to introduce its work to the local Korean American community and encourage interest in establishing a chapter.

The association also discussed raising awareness of para-sports ahead of the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games and encouraging Korean American communities to participate and support athletes. LA28's official information lists the Paralympic Games for August 15–27, 2028.

Turning that attention into sustained participation will be a key task. The association said it plans to expand regional organizations and strengthen cooperation with community groups and relevant institutions, supporting health and social participation through sport.
