Nagoya 1988 was one of the two short-listed bids for the 1988 Summer Olympic Games, and was to be held in Nagoya, Japan.
Nagoya was eliminated in the first round of the ballot to select a host city at the 84th IOC sitting in September 1981 in Baden-Baden, West Germany.
Ten years later, the city of Nagano was awarded to host the 1998 Winter Olympics. Nagoya is set to co-host the Asian Games with other towns and cities in Aichi Prefecture in 2026.
