The Asia Pacific Masters Games is a regional multi-sport event which involves participants from the Asia-Pacific region. Governed by the International Masters Games Association (IMGA), the Asia Pacific Masters Games is open to participants of all abilities and most ages – the minimum age criterion ranges between 25 and 35 years depending on the sport.[1] Participants compete for themselves, instead of their countries.[2] There are no competition qualification requirements apart from the age requirement and membership in that sport's governing body.[3] The Malaysian state of Penang hosted the event's first edition between 8 and 15 September 2018.[3]
