- 1xBet donates 20 advanced sports wheelchairs to para-athletes through a partnership with the Wheelchair Cricket India Association (W.C.I.A.).
- The initiative enhances performance and accessibility for players who previously lacked access to professional-grade equipment.
- 1xBet commits to inclusive sports with plans for future charitable projects and awareness campaigns supporting athletes with disabilities.
Global betting company 1xBet, in partnership with the Wheelchair Cricket India Association (W.C.I.A.), has donated 20 modern sports wheelchairs to para-athletes competing in wheelchair cricket, reaffirming its commitment to inclusivity and equal opportunity in sports.
These specially designed wheelchairs will provide disabled cricketers with the advanced mobility equipment necessary to boost their performance. Until now, most players participated in 6-8 tournaments annually without access to professional-grade sports wheelchairs due to high costs.
1xBet selected W.C.I.A. for this initiative because of the association’s dedication to promoting inclusive sports and creating platforms for wheelchair-bound athletes. As India’s pioneering and apex body for wheelchair cricket, W.C.I.A. is credited with forming the first Indian Wheelchair Cricket Team and has played a critical role in enabling para-athletes to represent India in international tournaments.
“This support from 1xBet is more than just about providing equipment; it’s about recognising the perseverance and spirit of para-athletes who challenge limits every day,” said a W.C.I.A. representative.
Irina Kapoor, Head of Marketing at 1xBet, added, “We believe sports should be accessible to all, regardless of circumstance. These athletes inspire us with their determination, and it’s our duty to support them on their journey”.
Each wheelchair will be branded with the 1xBet logo, symbolising the company’s ongoing support for inclusive sports initiatives across India. The donation marks a significant step toward professionalising the sport and enhancing the capabilities of India’s wheelchair cricket community.
Looking ahead, 1xBet plans to launch a series of charitable campaigns and awareness initiatives focused on sports accessibility and spotlighting inspiring athlete stories. The company has urged followers to stay connected via its social media platforms for upcoming updates.
This initiative highlights a shared mission between 1xBet and W.C.I.A.to promote resilience, inclusivity, and excellence in the face of adversity.
