World Abilitysport

The official YouTube channel of World Abilitysport.

World Abilitysport is passionate about promoting sport for recreation, well-being and enjoyment, as well as sport for development and competition for people with physical impairments.

Every two years we stage the World Abiltysport Games. These are the world’s biggest gathering of athletes with physical impairments, attracting 500 athletes from around the world. 

We also organise recreation camps for all ages and abilities featuring different activities for people with physical impairments. 

World Abilitysport was formed after the merger of the International Wheelchair and Amputee Sports Federation and the Cerebral Palsy International Sports and Recreation Association.

Both organisations and their forbears were pioneers of Para sport and have been at the forefront of the Paralympic Movement for over 70 years.

World Abilitysport is the global governing body for wheelchair fencing – a Paralympic sport – and powerchair hockey.
