The Tashkent 2027 World Para Athletics Championships will take place at the Uzbekistan Olympic City Sport Stadium, a new 12,000‑seat venue located in the Yashnobod district on the eastern side of the capital. The stadium is part of a wider sports complex known as Olimpiya shaharchasi (“Olympic city”), which also includes two indoor halls for team and combat sports, an aquatics centre and a velodrome.
