Macau at the Paralympics
Template:Infobox country at games Macau's Paralympic Committee was founded in 1979,[1] and the territory first competed at the Summer Paralympic Games in 1988.Script error: No such module "Unsubst". It has competed in every edition of the Summer Games since then, with the exception of the Summer Paralympic Games in 2020, but has never participated in the Winter Paralympic Games.[2]
Script error: No such module "anchor". Macau has also had an Olympic committee since 1987, which is recognized by Asian Olympic Committees and Portuguese Speaking Olympic Committees, but not recognized by the International Olympic Committee. Should athletes in the territory wish to compete in the Olympic Games, they would need to compete for the People's Republic of China or Hong Kong. However, this conflicts with the Macau Basic Law (Macau must participate in any international activities as an independent entity different from mainland China), so no athletes in Macau have had the chance to participate in the Olympic Games so far.[3]
