The 2025 IFCPF Men’s Asia-Oceania Championships have been awarded to the 2025 World Abilitysport Games and the city of Jakarta, Indonesia.

CP Football, which makes its debut at a World Abilitysport Games, will be hosted in the GBK Sports Complex, Lapangan ABC Senayan and will welcome men’s teams from the Asia and Oceania region.
