The games, which will run through July 26, are expected to attract participants from the 105 countries and areas, with the 4,000 competing athletes representing 90 nationalities, while the judges and referees will represent a further 25.

The flags will be distributed by the KOC and will be flown at the various stadiums, venues and exhibitions related to the games.

During the 11-day competition, 26 official sports, five invitational sports and various other activities and exhibitions are scheduled. According to the KOC, there will be at least six events per day, with some days seeing 14 events.

The preparation of the flags has cost the organizers NT$900,000, which is a tiny fraction of the total budget of NT$2.4 billion set aside for the games and their preparations.
