World Boccia Cup

Boccia is a highly tactical Paralympic precision ball sport designed for athletes with high support needs, primarily those with cerebral palsy or neurological impairments affecting motor skills. Similar to bowls, players throw or roll leather balls, aiming to land closest to a white target ball, or "jack".

​

The Boccia competition at the ISCF has been designated a “World Boccia Cup”, and will feature up to 100 athletes from dozens of countries competing to gain qualification for the 2028 Los Angeles Paralympic Games.
