The event, organised by the Argentinian Paralympic Committee (COPAR), will take place on October 30 at Luna Park Stadium in capital city Buenos Aires.

An estimated 5,000 people are expected to attend, with demonstrations taking place in partially sighted five-a-side football, powerchair football, sitting volleyball, wheelchair basketball, wheelchair rugby and wheelchair tennis.

"We want the Paralympic National Day to become a classic," said COPAR President Jose Maria Valladares.

"This is not a competition but a day to celebrate and reflect values through sports."
