Speaking about the 2024 Paralympic Games International Paralympic Committee (IPC) President Andrew Parsons said, “These Games will be the most spectacular Paralympic Games in history. There are three main reasons. First, Paralympic sport is better than ever before. I have been at a number of events this year, including the European Para Championships in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, and you see the level of the sport growing.
The second reason is that we will have the crowds back. We are very ambitious about spectators, and we want to sell every one of the 2.8 million tickets and break the record that is still London 2012. We want Paris to be number one in terms of ticket sales.
And you can’t forget the atmosphere of the Games. We have great sport, we have great crowds, and we will have incredible venues in an incredible city. To have venues like blind football in front of the Eiffel Tower and to have Paralympic champions at Roland Garros, these are some of the most iconic places in the history of mankind. To have venues right beside these iconic landmarks, it provides a perfect atmosphere to spectacular sports.”
