63 athletes will line out in the latest state-of-the art sports gear and equipment at the upcoming Paralympic Games in Paris thanks to product donations from seven global sports brands.
Dedicated to fostering Paralympic solidarity, the Uniform Support Programme supports National Paralympic Committees that require assistance in procuring competition-compliant uniforms, ensuring athletes are equipped with Paralympic-standard uniforms that proudly bear their NPC name and emblem. Each uniform is tailored to the athlete, reflecting the commitment to excellence and equality that the Paralympic Games stand for.
WFSGI members adidas, ASICS, Arena SpA, Nike, PUMA, Speedo and Under Armour have all committed to ensuring that no athlete is left behind through their product support.
WFSGI CEO Emma Zwiebler is proud to include Paralympic athletes in this programme for Paris. She explains, “Wearing the best apparel and footwear on competition day is a crucial part of being mentally and physically prepared to compete. Every athlete deserves to take part in possibly the biggest event of their careers without having to worry about their uniform and how it may affect their performance. Thank you to all 7 of our member brands for their participation in the Uniform Support Programme at the Paralympic Games.”
The uniform distribution starts at the Paralympic Village on August 21st and runs through to August 29th.
