Ahmedabad will host the 11th Asian Aquatics Championship from September 28 to October 11, 2025, marking the first time India is organizing this prestigious continental event. The Veer Savarkar Sports Complex in Narangpura serves as the venue, providing international-standard infrastructure for swimming, diving, artistic swimming, and water polo. Over 900 athletes from 29 Asian countries are expected to participate. Hosting this event not only gives Indian athletes the chance to compete at home but also strengthens India’s long-term aspirations to host the 2030 Commonwealth Games and potentially the 2036 Olympic Games, while promoting grassroots aquatic sports and talent development.
