The International Paralympic Committee (IPC) has called for expressions of interest from cities, national governments, sport organisations and other entities interested in taking over the governance of the sports of Para athletics, Para swimming, or both, in their territories.

Para athletics and Para swimming are two of the World Para Sports, the group of international Para sports under the governance of the IPC. Both Para sports are currently based in Bonn, Germany at the IPC Headquarters.
