About the event

Asian Junior and Youth Orienteering Championships (AsJYOC) is the premier and most prestigious continental competition that regularly brings together the strongest young orienteers from across Asia. The tournament traditionally travels through different countries of the region, each time opening up new unique geographical points and inspiring the younger generation of athletes to achieve new heights in this intellectual and dynamic sport.

In 2027, this large-scale sporting event will be hosted by hospitable Kazakhstan, specifically its cultural and natural center — Almaty. This is a truly historic milestone for the championship: the competitions will be held in Central Asia and the former Soviet Union for the first time, securing the status of the westernmost championship in the entire history of Asian championships. Participants and guests can look forward not only to uncompromising competition on challenging courses, but also to the unique landscapes of the Tian Shan foothills, which will serve as an ideal and picturesque arena for the continent's top athletes.
