Bonn, Sep 22 — World Para Athletics has announced the medal programme and qualification criteria for the 2027 World Para Athletics Championships in Tashkent. The competition will take place at the Uzbekistan Olympic City Sport Stadium from June 19 to 27, 2027.
The Tashkent 2027 event programme will retain all events from the New Delhi 2025 World Championships while expanding to feature 16 additional medal events, bringing the total to 202 (111 men’s, 90 women’s and one mixed), the highest number at a World Championships since London 2017. All 164 medal events on the Los Angeles 2028 Paralympic Games programme are included.
Five new medal events have been added to Tashkent 2027, whilst 11 medal events result from the separation of existing events from the New Delhi 2025 programme, World Para Athletics informed in a release on Tuesday.
