Nagoya, Japan — The Nepal Boxing Team proudly joined the Nepali contingent in the March Past during the opening ceremony of the 20th Asian Games, held at the Paloma Mizuho Stadium in Nagoya, Japan, on Saturday.
The Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games 2026 officially opened on September 19 and will continue until October 4, bringing together athletes from across Asia for one of the continent’s biggest sporting events. Nepal is represented by 135 athletes across 21 sports, including seven boxers, who will carry the nation’s hopes and aspirations into the competition.
Adding a special moment of pride for Nepali boxing, Chandra Bahadur Thapa Magar was selected as one of Nepal’s two flag-bearers for the opening ceremony alongside Manamati Bista, captain of the Nepal women’s kabaddi team. Carrying the national flag at the Asian Games opening ceremony marks a significant honour for Thapa and reflects his contribution to Nepali boxing on the international stage.
Led by the national flag, members of the Nepali delegation marched into the stadium with pride, unity and determination, proudly representing the Crimson Double Triangle on the continental sporting stage. The March Past provided a memorable opportunity for Nepal’s athletes, coaches, managers and officials to come together as one team before the start of the main competition.
For the Nepal Boxing Team, the ceremony marked the beginning of another important chapter in its international journey. With strong preparation and determination, the Nepali boxers are ready to step into the ring and represent the country with discipline, courage and fighting spirit.
The Nepal Boxing Federation extends its best wishes to Chandra Bahadur Thapa Magar and the entire Nepal Boxing Team competing at the Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games 2026. May their hard work, dedication and determination bring pride to Nepal and inspire the next generation of Nepali boxers.
Best wishes to Team Nepal!
Best wishes to Nepal Boxing Team!
