Unlike their non-disabled bretheren, the Cup includes four different sports: wheelchair basketball, football (soccer), track and field events, and swimming.
BASN will have the final results of athletes and teams next week. As a reminder, the non-disabled World Cup games are scheduled to start June 11-July 11 in Johannesburg, South Africa
