People with disabilities have the opportunity to express themselves in various ways, one of which is sports. The ASEAN Para Games have been held for eleven times. In 2022, Vietnam was originally the home for the event, but due to a lack of preparation five months before the event was held, it was finally cancelled. In the end, Indonesia is ready to host the 2022 ASEAN Para Games. The involvement of the people of Surakarta City is very much needed in organizing activities, including youth. This study aims to determine the awareness of youth regarding the existence of the ASEAN Para Games in Surakarta City. This type of research is descriptive research with a quantitative approach.
