Nationality Changes
We would like to make National Federations aware of the news concerning Nationality changes prior to the Paralympic Games, which was communicated by the International Paralympic Committee (IPC):

With the preparations for your team’s participation at the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games stepping up, we want to remind you of the nationality changes procedure for participating athletes presented during the Chef de Mission Seminar in Paris last August, and detailed in the IPC Nationality Regulations published in the IPC Handbook (effective 01 September 2022). 

Please note that the deadline to submit change of nationality requests to the IPC is 28 February 2024.

For any inquiries on Qualification Regulations and Eligibility, please refer to the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games Qualifications Regulations (updated January 2024). 

Your prompt attention to this matter is appreciated.

Bipartite Commission Invitation Applications
The IPC will be opening the Bipartite application system shortly, which is to be communicated to all National Paralympic Committees (NPCs). We encourage any NFs who are interested in submitting such an application to get in contact with their NPC as soon as possible.

As a reminder, the start of the Bipartite Commission Invitation application process is 19 February, and all applications must be received by 18 March at the latest.

Classification Status
We would like to remind NFs that to be eligible for selection for the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games, all Athletes must be internationally classified with a “Confirmed” status, or a “Review” status with a fixed review date after 31 December 2024. Athletes with a “Review” status with a date prior to 31 December 2024 or without a date would not be eligible for selection.

If you have any questions on the above topics, please contact the Para Dressage Department.
