Para sport plays an extraordinary and exceptional role at Borussia Düsseldorf! Inclusion and participation are important to the club and the successes of the para-athletes are remarkable.

First and foremost, the wheelchair teams - there have been two teams since the 2024/25 season. The success story of Valentin Baus, Tom Schmidberger and Sandra Mikolaschek continues to be written. The three have now become German team champions an incredible nine times in a row. Sandra Mikolaschek is also team leader of the newly formed second team. Together with Oleksandr Yezyk and ten-year-old Metin Cürünay, the Paralympic champion was promoted straight to the second Bundesliga.

In the 2016/17, 2017/18 and 2021/22 seasons, the record champions' para-athletes achieved the unthinkable: they won the double. Both the wheelchair athletes and the pedestrians were successful and won the German championship - an outstanding achievement!

The season for standing disabled ("pedestrians") athletes is still ongoing, but there have already been some great successes at the German Individual Championships 2025: Maike Bannuscher won gold in the singles and bronze in the doubles at the German Youth Championships and two silver medals in the adult category; Jonas Wand secured bronze in the singles and doubles as well as gold in the singles and silver in the youth edition; Klaus Mewes was also rewarded with bronze in the singles, as were Leon Schwitzki and Michael Müller/Siggi Spielmann in the doubles. And Metin Cürünay was also delighted to win his first medal at a German Youth Championship and secured bronze.

A total of six Borussia teams were and are competing in 2024/25: two wheelchair and four pedestrian teams.

Many of the para-athletes also play regular sport for the club.
