SPORTS DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM FOR DISABLED PEOPLE FOR 2020

The Disability Sport Development Program is to support activities of sports federations related to adapted physical activity and the practice of sports by people with disabilities.

The purpose of the Program is to create conditions and opportunities to support sports federations and their activities for people with disabilities with a view to overcoming social exclusion, integration and faster adaptation in society, with an emphasis on children and young people.
