Sport without borders: creating the future together!

The International Inclusive Committee proudly continues its charitable mission to develop and popularize adaptive and inclusive sports in Russia and around the world!

We believe that sports are a powerful force that unites people and opens up unlimited opportunities for everyone.

That is why we have launched a large-scale charitable project to equip regions of the Russian Federation with modern inclusive sports grounds and unique complexes for passing adaptive GTO standards.

In August, the first sites will appear in Lugansk (LPR) and Grozny (Chechen Republic). But we are not stopping there! Following them, modern sports complexes will be installed and transferred to Volgograd, St. Petersburg, the Republic of Buryatia and many other corners of our vast country.

Our project in the capital of the Chechen Republic is acquiring a new, even deeper meaning. An entire park zone will be created next to the modern inclusive site – not just a place for relaxation, but a tribute to eternal memory and respect.
In this park, where majestic red-leaved maples will be planted, the memory of the heroes of the Chechen Republic who fought for Russia will be perpetuated.

Thus, the strength of the spirit of the past and the desire for new victories in the future will meet on one land. This will be a place where the memory of the exploits of ancestors inspires the younger generation to accomplishments, and nature gives harmony and peace.

Each such site is not just a sports facility. It is a place of power, a symbol of equality, a territory of new victories and proof that there are no barriers for the strength of spirit.

Joining forces for a great goal: the launch of the charity auction “Impulse”!

The International Inclusive Committee officially announces the launch of the largest charity auction, organized in partnership with outstanding Russian and international athletes and leading football clubs. Legends stood shoulder to shoulder with us – leading Russian and international athletes, famous football clubs, those whose names thunder in stadiums around the world. All of them provided various lots with their autograph.

Our mission is to provide equal opportunities for everyone who sees sport as their life and calling. The goal of this auction is to raise funds to organize a trip to the III International Festival of Adaptive Sports “Impulse” for athletes from orphanages and boarding schools for people with disabilities.
In hundreds of orphanages and boarding schools across the country, there are children with disabilities whose hearts beat to the rhythm of sports. They train with incredible, breathtaking persistence. Their eyes glow with the same unquenchable passion for victory as professional stars. They know the value of every training session, every small victory over themselves.

President of the International Inclusive Committee Alexander Smirnov held a meeting with the Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the State of Qatar to the Russian Federation, His Excellency Sheikh Ahmed Nasser Al-Thani. A productive and inspiring bilateral meeting with the Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the State of Qatar to the Russian Federation, His Excellency Sheikh Ahmed Nasser Al-Thani, took place on the sidelines of the Caucasus Investment Forum in Mineralnye Vody.

The parties focused on the prospects for developing bilateral strategic and investment cooperation between the International Inclusive Committee and the State of Qatar. The parties discussed in detail a number of initiatives aimed at promoting inclusion, supporting adaptive sports and implementing joint social and charitable projects.

It is gratifying to note that the views of the parties largely coincide: the parties strive to create a sustainable international platform that will help improve the quality of life of people with disabilities, will contribute to the establishment of the principles of equality and inclusion in society. The parties outlined specific steps to exchange experience in creating an inclusive environment, organizing joint sports events (including inviting the Qatari delegation to the International Adaptive Sports Festival “IMPULSE” to be held in Sochi, Russia, in 2026! and the possible holding of the “Impulse” festival in Qatar in 2027 or 2028), and also considered the possibility of establishing a joint charitable foundation to implement and support social and charitable projects, develop and build sports infrastructure not only in Russia and Qatar but also in other countries of the world.

This meeting is a significant step towards strengthening humanitarian ties between Russia and Qatar. Alexander Smirnov is confident that mutually beneficial cooperation will bring real benefits and open new horizons for many people! There is a lot of work ahead, but a start has been made, and it inspires great optimism!

Dear Russians! Dear veterans, home front workers, children of war!

On behalf of the International Inclusive Committee, please accept our most sincere and heartfelt congratulations on this great and sacred holiday – the 80th anniversary of the Victory in the Great Patriotic War!

May 9, 2025 is a special, significant date that reminds the whole world of the unparalleled feat, courage and unbending will of the Soviet people, who, at the cost of incredible efforts and colossal sacrifices, crushed Nazism, liberated Europe and saved humanity from the brown plague. Eight decades separate us from that unforgettable May of 1945, when the enemy was defeated and justice triumphed.

We, representatives of the International Inclusive Committee, deeply honor the memory of everyone who brought this day closer. We remember the heroic soldiers of the Red Army and Navy, partisans and underground fighters, selfless home front workers – men, women, old people and even children who forged the Victory in factories and fields. This Victory was achieved thanks to the unity and solidarity of people of various nationalities, religions and social classes living on the vast territory of the Soviet Union. Each made an invaluable contribution, and this contribution must be recognized and preserved in the memory of descendants.

The International Inclusive Committee particularly emphasizes the importance of preserving the historical truth about that terrible war and that Great Victory. We advocate that the memory of the feat of all participants in the anti-Hitler coalition, the victims of the Nazi genocide, the suffering of the civilian population be complete and unbiased. Inclusiveness in this context means recognizing the role and suffering of each person, regardless of their origin, social status or physical abilities, who were affected by this war. We remember those who returned from the war with injuries, but continued to live, work and rebuild the country, and those who remained disabled for life.

“International Inclusive Committee” Argentina is co-organizing this unique event that will bring together athletes with disabilities from all over the world. This is not just a competition, but a true celebration of fortitude, courage and perseverance, because each of the participants is a role model and an inspiration for new achievements.

Taekwondo is not only a martial art, but also a philosophy that teaches us to overcome obstacles and strive for excellence. The championship will be a platform to showcase outstanding skills and unique stories that highlight the strength and determination of our athletes.

Come support the participants, enjoy the spectacular performances and be part of this unforgettable experience! Your presence is an important step towards inclusion and mutual understanding.

Let’s create an atmosphere of unity and support together, where everyone can show their talents and abilities. Let the championship become a symbol of friendship, respect and inspiration for everyone!

The Women’s Para Hockey World Championship will be held from 26 to 31 August 2025. The Slovak town of Dolny Kubin will host this prestigious tournament, which will be the first of its kind. Six teams will compete: the national teams of Australia, Canada, Great Britain, Norway and the United States, as well as the World Team, made up of players from different countries.

Senior Para Hockey Manager Michelle Laflamme expressed her delight at hosting this landmark event, noting its importance for the future of the sport. She highlighted the desire to increase women’s participation in para hockey and the preparation of a bid to include a women’s medal tournament in the program of the future Paralympic Winter Games, which would be an important step towards the recognition of the sport.

At the 2025 Canadian Powerlifting Union Championships, 25-year-old Special Olympics athlete Cassidy Rutledge, who has Down syndrome, won another title, marking a major milestone in her journey to international competition.

She is preparing to represent Kelowna at the World Championships in Romania in November. Powerlifting has become not only a way for Cassidy to build physical strength, but also a source of confidence and friendship.

“It makes me feel strong,” Cassidy says of her training. Having her team cheering her on as she tackles difficult lifts makes the workouts especially meaningful. She values ​​the commitment and support of her parents, who are proud of her accomplishments. “We are very, very proud of her,” says her father, Leo Rutledge. “She is getting stronger every day.”

Cassidy competes in other sports in addition to powerlifting, such as track and field and swimming. However, powerlifting has become her true passion. After starting training in 2019, she faced temporary setbacks due to the pandemic, but since returning, she has been able to focus on achieving her goals by training three times a week.

On April 5, 2025, a truly grand sporting event took place in Chelyabinsk — the II International Festival of Adaptive Sports “Impulse”. This large-scale event became the largest in the world in terms of the number of disciplines presented and the number of participants, people with disabilities. The festival was created and organized to unite countries and demonstrate the art of adaptive sports on behalf of the Russian Federation.

This unique event was attended by athletes, including those who were wounded during a special military operation. They united to demonstrate their sporting achievements and share experiences that help them cope with difficulties and lead an active lifestyle.

This significant event once again proved that sport knows no boundaries. It united athletes with disabilities from all over the world on one sports ground, demonstrating that there are no barriers to doing what you love.

The festival is held within the framework of the state program “Development of Physical Culture and Sports” and is supported by the “Presidential Grants Fund” Russia

With the support of the International Inclusive Committee, an amazing sports tournament “Football Joys” was held in St. Petersburg (Russia), uniting children with disabilities and their families. It was not just an event, but a real holiday filled with warmth, joy and excitement!

The participants were treated to fun relay races that gave a lot of positive emotions, united families and charged everyone with incredible energy. And a special moment was the long-awaited tournament, in which, with the joint efforts of dads, moms and children, they fought against the team “Sun in Zenit” (SPb OOI “Sun in Zenit”).

The rivalry turned out to be truly exciting! The games were full of passion, tactics and, of course, genuine joy. But the most important reward was the bright smiles on the faces of the participants and spectators – these are moments that remain in the hearts for a long time.

Such events are not only a way to develop sports skills, but also an opportunity to strengthen family ties, feel each other’s support and create memories that warm the soul.
