2027 sports selection
Looking ahead to the 2027 edition, a new sports selection process will be introduced. This process will be guided by a clear set of criteria, ensuring that all selected sports align with the qualification framework for the Los Angeles 2028 Paralympic Games. To be eligible for inclusion in the EPC2027 program, a sport must either:
- Offer direct qualification slots for LA28, or
- Award European Championship titles that contribute to Paralympic qualifying points.
In close collaboration with the future host city, we will also assess the feasibility and sustainability of each sport within the overall event framework. This approach ensures that the European Para Championships remain a relevant, impactful, and future-proof platform for elite para sport in Europe.
