Developing and Growing Opportunities for CP athletes
The 2018 CPISRA World Games represents a unique opportunity to grow the participation of athletes with cerebral palsy, and related neurological conditions, across a number of Sports, Classifications, Events and Disciplines. This is particularly important for those sports and events which are not currently part of the Paralympic Games programme, but where there is an aspiration to compete at World level and develop these for the future. As an IOSD and membership, we have a collective responsibility to develop the World Games as a catalyst for enhancing CP opportunity and participation, and provide opportunity for all.
Together we can showcase the need and desire for increased opportunities for CP athletes across sport and recreation, therefore it is of vital importance that we continue to utilise the exciting platform that the World Games provides.
CPISRA and the Local Organising Committee are delighted to invite athletes, coaches, staff, officials and volunteers to be part of the 2018 CPISRA World Games in Sant Cugat – Barcelona, Spain.
The fantastic facilities located in Sant Cugat, which include a Sports High Performance Centre, will play host to athletes from all around the world. We look forward to welcoming your teams and athletes to Catalonia – Spain.

IPC Sanction - World Para Athletics and World Para Swimming Classification and Officials
Through our partnership with the International Paralympic Committee (IPC), World Para Athletics (WPA) and World Para Swimming (WPS), CPISRA can now confirm that both Para Athletics and Para Swimming at the 2018 CPISRA World Games will be IPC sanctioned 'IOSD Championships’. This status for both sports will mean that WPA and WPS respectively will provide both Officiating and Classification personnel to support the delivery of the games. Results for IPC licensed athletes will be recognised and recorded by IPC. RaceRunning
World Para Athletics announced on Wednesday, 25 October, the inclusion of RaceRunning events for athletes with severe co-ordination impairments in competitions from 2018. The growth and development of RaceRunning in recent years, through the partnership between CPISRA and Parasports Denmark, has seen participation grow substantially. The 2018 CPISRA World Games will be one of the first events where RaceRunning will be part of the Para Athletics programme with WPA Classification and officials. This represents a great opportunity for countries to send athletes, coaches and support staff to learn more about the discipline and experience world level competition. Para Taekwondo
