𝐑𝐨𝐲𝐚𝐥 𝐑𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐠𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐥𝐲𝐦𝐩𝐢𝐜 𝐓𝐞𝐚𝐦 𝐁𝐞𝐥𝐠𝐢𝐮𝐦 👑 On November 7th, the incredible athletes of Paralympic Team Belgium and Belgisch Olympisch en Interfederaal Comité were honored by Their Majesties King Filip and Queen Mathilde at the Château de Laeken. This royal recognition is a testament to the dedication, resilience and determination of our Paralympic athletes, who have represented Belgium on the world stage with pride and excellence.   During this memorable visit, athletes from the #Paris2024 #ParalympicGames and medallists from European and World Championships were personally congratulated by the King and Queen for their accomplishments over the past year. The royal audience was a moment of celebration and inspiration, highlighting not only athletic achievements but also the powerful role of sport in promoting inclusivity and unity.   We extend our sincere gratitude to Their Majesties for their support and encouragement of Paralympic sport, which plays a crucial role in empowering athletes and fostering a more inclusive society. Also a big thank you to Ministers Karine Lalieux and Jacqueline Galant for joining us in this moment.   We are also very grateful to our colleagues at Team Belgium for the excellent collaboration in organising this special day. Together, we are stronger.   #ParalympicTeamBelgium #InspirationThroughSport #RoyalRecognition #Inclusion #Resilience

The Belgian Blind Devils are home ! Last weekend, at the Proximus Basecamp of the Royal Belgian Football Association, a blind (or '5-a-side') football pitch was officially inaugurated during a 3 nations tournament with Belgium, Greece and #Paralympic champion France. The team is the result of a great 🤝 between Royal Belgian Football Association, Paralympic Team Belgium and Ligue Handisport Francophone. Huge thanks to the RBFA for paving a new way for our team and being an example federation in terms of inclusion. Supported by #UEFA #IBSA Proximus Group

Frédérique Neuville, Expert Sport of the Brussels-Capital Region : 💬 “It was essential for us to thank them for their work and to let them enjoy the atmosphere of the #Paralympics. We wanted to give them even more energy to work on their missions that make Brussels a better place to live.“ For many of the participants, the day reinforced their conviction that sport is an essential vector of inclusion, self-improvement and well-being, whatever the level of physical ability. In addition to a VIP visit to wheelchair basketball at Berçy Arena, the delegation visited the first ever Paralympic Belgium House on the Champs Elysées - a project also made possible thanks to the support of the Brussels Region - to follow some of our para-cyclists during their time trials.

Tout comme Tim, ENGIE Belgium est persuadé que le handicap ne doit pas être un obstacle à la pratique sportive. C’est avec cette conviction qu’ENGIE et le Paralympic Team Belgium se sont associés afin de rendre le sport accessible à tous, sans exception. Vingt ans plus tard, cette conviction nous anime toujours autant. 💚 Nous avons suivi Tim dans sa préparation pour Paris.

Thanks ENGIE Belgium for challenging our team to take part in the #RiverCleanupchallenge. The goal of this viral action is to raise awareness amongst Belgians, together with River Cleanup and the Fondation ENGIE, of the need to protect our rivers and reduce waste. A nice way for us to think of something else than #Paris2024 for a moment 😅 In 30 minutes, we gathered a lot of waste near our offices. Mission accomplished ! Our turn to nominate our member federations G-sport Vlaanderen and Ligue Handisport Francophone 🥇 #withENGIE Vincent Verbeke - Florence Muls (She/Her) - Anne-Sophie Hugé - Hellen Smeets - Daphné Cawet - Suzanne Mioulet - Gaetano Palermo
