The European Para Championships is a multisport event. The event will become a permanent part of the parasport calendar, returning to a major European city every four years. The very first edition of the European Para Championships will take place in Rotterdam, from Tuesday 8 to Sunday 20 August 2023. 1,500 athletes from 45 countries will compete against each other in ten different sports for the European titles and qualification for the 2024 Paralympic Games in Paris.
