Paralympic Games Schedule to be Finalized in 2027
The IPC will set the sports program for the Brisbane 2032 Paralympic Games in 2027, following IOCs updated timeline.
Berlin, November 10 (Daily Kiran) : The International Paralympic Committee (IPC) has announced that it will finalize the sports program for the Brisbane 2032 Paralympic Games in April 2027. This decision follows the International Olympic Committee’s (IOC) recent timeline update, which aims to conclude the Olympic program for the same games by the same month.
Initially, there were expectations that the sports program would be determined by the end of 2026. However, the IPC’s governing board has opted to set the schedule in 2027, a process distinct from the IOC’s program determination.
Factors such as costs, complexity, and the impact on the organizing committee will influence the IPC’s decisions regarding the Paralympic sports program. Nevertheless, the board is committed to making its final decisions during 2027.
The IPC had initiated the process for the Brisbane 2032 Paralympic Games by inviting applications from international federations and recognized bodies at the end of 2025. The games are scheduled to take place from August 24 to September 5, 2032.
More than 250 leaders connected to the Paralympic movement gathered in Berlin for the International Paralympic Committee Membership Gathering. The event, held from November 7 to 9, focused on collaboration, information sharing, and shaping the future of para sports. The theme of the gathering, “Coming Together: A Call to Action,” underscored the movement’s transition into a new strategic phase, addressing both opportunities and challenges ahead.
