The Swedish Parasports Federation (Swedish: Svenska parasportförbundet), earlier the Swedish Sports Organization for the Disabled ((Swedish: Svenska handikappidrottsförbundet)) (SHIF) and later the Swedish Sports Organization for the Disabled and Swedish Paralympic Committee ((Swedish: Svenska handikappidrottsförbundet och Sveriges paralympiska kommitté)) (SHIF/SPK) is the umbrella organization for disability sports in Sweden. The current name was adopted during a meeting in Malmö on 9 May 2015.[1][2]
It is the National Paralympic Committee in Sweden for the Paralympic Games movement. It's a non-profit organisation that selects teams, and raises funds to send Swedish competitors to Paralympic events organised by the International Paralympic Committee (IPC).
The organisation was founded in 1969, and became a member of the Swedish Sports Confederation the same year.[3]
