The 2024 Summer Paralympics will be held in Paris, from August 28 to September 8, 2024. This marks the first time Paris will host the Summer Paralympic Games and the second time France will host any Paralympic event (the first being the 1992 Winter Paralympics).
The event will feature 4,400 athletes from around the world, competing in 549 medal events across 22 sports, including Para athletics, Para swimming, wheelchair basketball, blind football, and more. The competitions will take place at iconic venues such as the Eiffel Tower, Versailles, and the Stade de France, with the opening ceremony planned for Place de la Concorde.
For countries like China, Great Britain, and the USA, these games will be significant as they continue to perform strongly in the Paralympics, with China historically dominating the medal table.
