The group provides support to the Swiss athletes competing in the Paralympic Games from 28 August to 8 September 2024, through this cooperation. As it did at the previous games, the Swiss Paralympic team is going for 14 medals in the French capital.

The Paralympic Games provide a valuable opportunity for demonstrating the unwavering spirit and commitment of para-athletes who overcome physical obstacles to participate at the highest level.

Their persistent passion and commitment to their profession represent REYL Intesa Sanpaolo’s core principles, which include resilience, perseverance, and the quest of excellence.

Moreover, this year, Switzerland will compete in nine of the 22 sports: badminton, cycling, equestrian, judo, athletics, rowing, swimming, shooting, and tennis. This will be the country’s debut appearance in the judo and rowing events. The Swiss team’s youngest athlete, swimmer Leo McCrea, is only 20 years old.
