Toyota Asia names its seven athletes who will partake at Aichi-Nagoya 2026
Toyota Motor Asia (TMA) today announced its refreshed line-up of seven Global Team Toyota Athletes (GTTAs) representing six countries across Southeast Asia, on the road to the Aichi-Nagoya 2026 Asian Games and Asian Para Games.

The roster includes two new para-athletes, alongside returning athletes from the Paris 2024 cycle. This is also unified under Toyota’s regional brand platform, Move Your World, and reflects the company’s enduring belief that sport reveals what it truly means to be human. Meanwhile, continuing to represent the Philippines are Olympic gymnastics champion Carlos Yulo and Paralympic swimming standout Ernie Gawilan.

New to the team are Indonesia’s Muhammad Fadli Imamuddin and Malaysia’s Muhammad Ammar Aiman Nor Azmi, who will join five Global Team Toyota Athletes from Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam across a range of sporting disciplines.

Since 2018, Toyota has partnered with over 20 Global Team Toyota Athletes in Asia, supporting athletes who not only represent sporting excellence but also embody the power of movement to drive progress beyond competition. As Toyota continues to evolve, its athlete partnerships remain a key expression of its Move Your World philosophy, where mobility extends beyond movement to create access, opportunity, and progress within communities. Through the Global Team Toyota Athletes, Toyota continues to champion sport as a platform for inspiration, inclusion, and meaningful community impact.
“At Toyota, sport is a reflection of the human experience; the hope, the doubt, the dignity in defeat and the joy of moving forward together. Across Asia, our seven Global Team Toyota Athletes embody that spirit, and it is our privilege to stand beside these athletes that continue to inspire and demonstrate how far dedication and courage can take them, both in competition and beyond. Their journeys highlight the power of sport and its ability to open up new possibilities. Through Move Your World, we aim to support their ambitions in the lead-up to Aichi-Nagoya 2026, and to work alongside them in creating lasting impact in the communities that shaped them,” said Preston Tan, vice president of Toyota Motor Asia.
