The first IPC Powerlifting World Championships were held in Uppsala, Sweden in 1994.[1] On 30 November 2016, the IPC, which serves as the international federation for 10 disability sports, including powerlifting, adopted the "World Para" brand for all 10 sports. The world championship events in all of these sports were immediately rebranded as "World Para" championships.[2]
