The origins of the Paralympic Games date back to Rome, where they were first held in 1960. Since then, this event has grown exponentially, both in terms of the number of participants and global recognition. Each edition of the Paralympic Games is held in the same host city as the Olympic Games. In this case, Los Angeles has a rich history as a host of international sporting events, having hosted the Olympic Games in 1932 and 1984. With the 2028 Paralympic Games, the city wants to be a benchmark in the organization of inclusive and accessible events.

Preparations for the Paralympic Games in Los Angeles are already underway. Local authorities and organizers are working on planning accessible sports facilities, inclusive transportation, and volunteer programs to ensure an unforgettable experience for athletes and spectators.
