From November 15 to 26, 2025, Tokyo will host the Deaflympics, featuring 177 athletes from Ukraine with hearing impairments.
Our athletes will compete in 17 different sports out of the 21 featured in the Games (badminton, basketball, wrestling, bowling, volleyball, cycling, judo, karate, shooting, athletics, swimming, beach volleyball, orienteering, tennis, table tennis, and football). Notably, Ukrainians will debut in tennis and mountain biking.
This event marks the ninth Summer Deaflympics for our national team. Ukrainian athletes have previously topped the overall medal table in the Summer Deaflympics twice — in 2005 and 2021.
In total, our athletes have won 512 medals (165 gold, 176 silver, and 171 bronze) across eight previous Summer Deaflympics.
