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.
Torn by conflict, Yemen had not returned to the Paralympics after 1992 until 2020.
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. Alraoad would go on to compete for Yemen again in 2024.
