The association said it hopes that the support will serve as a source of encouragement for the delegation, given the limited contact in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The delegation arrived at Narita International Airport of Japan on July 19 to take part in the Tokyo Olympics, slated for July 23 - August 8.
During their stay, athletes are only allowed to travel between the village and the training and competition venues while sports officials have to move on only the routes they registered before entering Japan. They are banned from leaving the athletes’ village or going to tourist sites, restaurants, or bars, according to Olympics and Paralympics organisers’ regulations.
