The Swedish Parasport Federation and Swedish Paralympic Committee (Swedish: Svenska Parasportförbundet och Sveriges Paralympiska Kommitté), is the umbrella organization for parasport in Sweden. It was formerly known as the Swedish Sports Organization for the Disabled and Swedish Paralympic Committee (Swedish: Svenska Handikappidrottsförbundet och Sveriges Paralympiska Kommitté or SHIF/SPK) and earlier the Swedish Sports Organization for the Disabled (Swedish: Svenska Handikappidrottsförbundet or SHIF). The current name was adopted during a meeting in Malmö on 9 May 2015.[2][3]
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.[4]
