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.
2016 Summer Paralympics
The team was announced on August 5, 2016, by the International Paralympic Committee.[1] Participants were nominated for the team by National Paralympic Committees who were aware of qualified sportspeople. The International Paralympic Committee stepped in to assist with getting athletes ready by doing a number of things, including insuring that athletes were classified.[1]
