The Refugee Paralympic Team is a group made up of independent Paralympic participants who are refugees. The team competes using the Paralympic flag and Paralympic anthem, and marches first during the Opening Ceremony.
Alongside the debut of the Refugee Olympic Team at the 2016 Summer Olympics, a team of refugee para-athletes first competed at the 2016 Summer Paralympics as Independent Paralympic Athletes. The Refugee Paralympic Team was formally named starting with the 2020 Summer Paralympics.
Zakia Khudadadi became the first person to win an Olympic medal for the Refugee Paralympic Team, winning a bronze medal in the women's –47 kg para taekwondo event at the 2024 Summer Paralympics.[1]
