Australia's men's blind football and women's goalball teams will not compete at the Paris Paralympics this year, but they are determined to be there in Brisbane 2032.
Australia's men's blind football team and women's goalball team have missed out on qualification for Paris 2024.
A decision to shrink the number of goalball teams competing in Paris, and significant challenges for the squad, meant the Belles missed out on Games qualification. Funding is largely determined by a sport's historic performance, with Australia currently having eight Paralympic sports that do not receive any high-performance funding.
Paralympics Australia is hopeful of a team of 300 athletes for Brisbane 2032, where the host nation earns automatic slots for some team sports, including blind football and goalball.Australian Blind Football National Manager Dave Connolly says preparations for 2032 have already begun.
