Member Associations

National Sports Associations

MPC works in close collaboration with national sports associations to develop Paralympic sports disciplines across the Maldives.

Membership tiers: MPC has two categories of membership. Full Members are national sports associations whose discipline is on the current Paralympic programme. Additional Members are national associations that develop Paralympic-recognised sports outside the current Games programme.
