The tournament was part of the first edition of the European Para Championships, a quadrennial multi-sport event that takes place each pre-Paralympic year.[2] The finalists of this tournament qualified for the 2024 Summer Paralympics in Paris.[3]

Format edit

The twelve teams that qualified for the tournament are divided into two groups of six. The top four teams of each group advance to the knockout stage.[4]

Each team has a squad of twelve players for the tournament. Players are given an eight-level-score specific to wheelchair basketball, ranging from 1 to 4.5. Lower scores represent a higher degree of disability. The sum score of all players on the court cannot exceed 14.[5]
