The International Olympic Committee (IOC) said it will offer a number of scholarships to help Palestinian athletes train for the 2026 Asian Games and the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics.

Following a meeting with the Palestinian National Olympic Committee on Oct 1, the IOC said it would provide the scholarships through its Olympic Solidarity purse to help the region’s athletes get ready for the 2025 Asian Youth Games in Bahrain, the Dakar 2026 Youth Olympic Games, the Aichi-Nagoya 2026 Asian Games and the 2028 LA Olympics.
About 50 Palestinian athletes are expected to benefit, with the main focus being on qualifying for the LA Games. Only a small number of Palestinians usually compete at the Olympics, with the total number of athletes less than 10.
