Abstract
Paracanoeing is one of the sports included in the Paralympic Games. The present study aimed to analyze the financial development of paracanoeing in Brazil, through a qualitative research approach, exploratory in nature, descriptive through literature and documentary research. As a result, it was observed a significant financial contribution to athletes and sports entities during the 2012 and 2016 cycles, with a small reduction in these incentives in the 2016 and 2018 cycles. We conclude that there was a significant increase in resources after its inclusion in the Paralympic Games but without private resource investments. Although the results demonstrate evolution, it is essential to understand how the resource was applied to evaluate the efficiency of the investment.
