#GLEVENTS – WELCOME TO THE WORLD OF EVENTS

## **GL EVENTS SIGNS A MAJOR CONTRACT FOR THE ASIAN GAMES IN JAPAN IN 2026**

GL EVENTS (FR0000066672, GLO), **the integrated event industry group, announces the signature of a major contract to provide services for the 2026 Asian and Para-Asian Games, which will be held in Aichi Nagoya, Japan.**

As a major international sporting event held every four years, these Games bring together the very best Asian athletes in 41 disciplines. This 20th edition will be attended by over 15,000 athletes, paraathletes and officials from 45 countries from September 19 to October 4, 2026 to compete for their national teams.

## **Olivier Ginon, Chairman-CEO of GL events Group, commented:**

*"I wish to thank the Organizing Committee for their confidence in our Group and its employees. We are committed to making all our expertise available to the committee to ensure the success of this event on the human, sporting and operational levels. Driven by a passion for large events, we are committed to creating memorable experiences that will leave their mark on the history of these Games. With that objective, the Group's teams will be rapidly deployed to implement the most effective solutions. This major project will ensure significant business growth for the Group in 2025 and 2026."* 

Without providing an exhaustive list, the scope of services entrusted to the Group's Event Delivery Entity teams is quite extensive. These include the design and conceptualisation phases in collaboration with the Organising Committee, the provision of overlay services, the installation of reception and catering facilities and media zones, the management of site access and accreditation, and the organisation of medal ceremonies.

After providing services for the 2018 Asian Games in Indonesia, the 2019 Rugby World Cup in Japan and the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games, GL events has successfully confirmed its expertise in international event management and this major contract offers yet another illustration of the Group's ability to offer sustainable solutions specifically adapted to the needs of event organisers.

Already present in Aichi as the operator and manager of the Aichi Sky Expo exhibition centre, the Group in this way demonstrates its determination to put its expertise at the service of Asia's biggest sporting event and to contribute to the country's cultural and sporting development, as well as its economic dynamism, particularly in the host region.
