Enabling people with disabilities to participate in sports

Established in 1973, the Luxembourg Paralympic Committee aims to make sports accessible to people with disabilities by providing a full range of disciplines, from recreational activities to high-level competitions. In just over half a century, the ASBL has facilitated access to sports for people with disabilities by introducing new activities, enhancing infrastructure and mobility for athletes, conducting awareness campaigns, and investing in the training of instructors and coaches. The non-profit association acknowledges the multiple opportunities sports provide for people with disabilities and thus is committed to maximising their potential through volunteer work, technical investment, and financial support.

However, to realise these goals and support athletes with disabilities, we must rely on the assistance of our sponsors and partners. By joining us as a partner this year, Banque Raiffeisen reaffirms its strong commitment to our endeavors and initiatives, a gesture that we deeply appreciate...”
