The Refugee Paralympic Team competed at the 2024 Summer Paralympics in Paris, France, from 28 August to 8 September 2024. The team consisted of eight athletes and one guide runner, all refugees and asylees who represented more than 120 million forcibly displaced people worldwide.[1] The formation of the team and its six athletes was announced on 9 July 2024 in a joint statement by the IPC and UNHCR.[1] The team had made its debut at the 2016 Paralympics as the Independent Paralympic Athletes Team, which consisted of just two athletes, and returned to the 2020 Summer Paralympics under the current name with six refugee and asylee Paralympic athletes.
