Yemen made its Paralympic Games debut at the 1992 Summer Paralympics in Barcelona, with a three-man delegation. A.M. Al-Hamdany competed in the marathon (TW3-4 category), along with Said Al-Huribi, who also competed in the 50m freestyle (S6). Shaif Al-Kawlany was scheduled to enter two events in table tennis, but was a non-starter in both. None of the three men won a medal. ^[1]

Torn by conflict, Yemen had not returned to the Paralympics after 1992 until 2020. ^[2]

In Tokyo, Yemen was represented by two shot putters, Naseb Fateh Mohammed Alraoad and Belqes Ahmed Hezam Taresh, with Taresh being the only female athlete to represent Yemen at the Paralympics. ^[3] Alraoad would go on to compete for Yemen again in 2024.
