IPC review recognises support behind Eritrea’s Paris debut

An IPC review of its 2024 development programmes identified Eritrea among the national committees supported before the Paris Paralympic Games. Published in April 2025, the review recorded assistance to 91 NPCs that competed in Paris, including all three debuting nations. Across the wider programme, support reached athletes, coaches and technical personnel through training and competition opportunities. Eritrea’s inclusion provides documented context for its first Games appearance; the report did not give a separate funding amount or participant total for the country.
