Recognised International Sport Federations
In its Mission Statement, the IPC commits to ‘promote and contribute to the development of sport opportunities and competitions, from initiation level to elite level, for Paralympic athletes as the foundation of elite Paralympic sport’.
To achieve this, the IPC recognises the importance of creating a Paralympic Family network of recognised international sport federations that are not eligible to be IPC members, but contribute to the development of sport opportunities for athletes associated with the Paralympic Movement and have organisational goals that are compatible with the Vision and Mission of the IPC.
The following are IPC recognised international sport federations:
Badminton World Federation (BWF)
International Federation of Powerchair Football (FIPFA)
- Worldwide Paralympic Partners
- International Partner
