The Games Sports In addition to the 15 compulsory sports, up to three optional sports can be chosen, while respecting the infrastructure and local demands. The bid committee originally proposed rowing and sailing as optional sports. This would have been the third time in a row that rowing has been chosen as an optional sport, as it was in 2021 and 2025, while sailing was planned to return after for the first time since 2019. Despite this, infrastructure issues led to changes in plans and the Organizing Committee reviewed its planning in 2024, and decided that, in respect with local demands, retained rowing and replaced sailing and football (the latter of which was excluded from the program in staring in 2021) with golf (which returns after 2017) and beach volleyball, which remains in this status for two consecutive editions. On 12 January 2025, it was announced that para taekwondo will be part of the program.
