¡Ayer celebramos el Día Mundial del Goalball! 🇵🇾🤾♂️
En el marco de esta fecha tan especial, desde la comunidad de Goalball Paraguay queremos aprovechar para expresar nuestro más sincero agradecimiento a cada persona e institución que hace posible la práctica de este deporte en nuestro país.
Sabemos que aún queda un largo camino por recorrer, pero estamos convencidos de que somos muchos los que remamos hacia el mismo objetivo. Cada apoyo, cada gestión y cada granito de arena cuenta para seguir creciendo.
Con el compromiso de todos, no tenemos duda de que muy pronto llevaremos bien en alto la bandera paraguaya, representando con orgullo a nuestra querida selección en torneos internacionales. ¡Gracias por creer en el deporte inclusivo! ❤️
WORLD GOALBALL DAY — A MESSAGE TO THE GOALBALL COMMUNITY
Today, on World Goalball Day, I want to recognise everyone who works every day to make our sport grow: athletes, coaches, referees, clubs, National Federations, officials, volunteers, organisers, partners and supporters.
Goalball grows because of your commitment.
Because people train, teach, organise, referee, support athletes, create opportunities and keep the sport moving forward in every part of the world.
IBSA is committed to building the next chapter of Goalball with all of you.
A New Era in which the athlete is at the centre.
A Goalball that is fairer, more transparent, more competitive, more dynamic, more inclusive, more accessible and more global.
We want to reduce the differences between countries and regions.
We want more countries competing, more women and young athletes involved, stronger clubs and National Federations, better education and clearer international pathways.
And above all, we want to ensure that no country is left behind.
On this special day, we are also proud to share the Reform of the International Goalball Competition System — 2029–2032.
This reform is designed to create clearer competition pathways, stronger regional championships, more meaningful international participation and a system that better connects competition, ranking and global development.
The future of Goalball will not be built by one person, one Committee or one region.
It will be built with everyone, by everyone and for everyone.
A NEW ERA.
A FAIRER GAME.
MORE OPPORTUNITIES.
A STRONGER GLOBAL GOALBALL COMMUNITY.
