I always like how Rwanda is pretty much only good at one sport and it's paravolley of all things  

 

Of course it's rather sad that a genocide is part of the reason for it, but still.

because of new policies, Iran is going withdraw almost half of the Paralympics quotas ! including quotas in team sports like wheelchair basketball and 5-a-side football !! which is unbelievable because Iran finished 4th in last edition of World Championship in W-basketball and also this football team won the silver medal in Rio Paralympics !!

 

never been a huge fan of Paralympic sports but this is unbelievable

Ranking period is over for para-dressage. Team qualifiers are as follows:

 

Additionally, we have several continental qualifiers: (Americas), (Asia), (Oceania). African quota was not filled, meaning four more quota places will be redistribued between individuals.

And these are the individual spots...

 

Europe:

Americas:

Asia:

Africa: + reallocation

Oceania: + reallocation

there were lots of petitions and campaigns (or whatever you can call it) in social media to change that stupid policy and finally it was successful. Iran NPC officially changed its policy (at least regarding team sports) but it was already too late for the football team they didn't confirm their participation before the deadline and therefore their quota goes to  Thailand !   but at least it wasn't too late for wheelchair basketball and they will participate in Tokyo paralympics.

 

but the whole story is unbelievable, and those poor blind footballers will pay the price I wonder if there is any other country in the world with this level of mismanagement
