During the Parade of Nations at the opening ceremony of the 2016 Summer Paralympics, athletes from each participating country paraded in the Maracanã Stadium, preceded by its flag and placard barrier. Each flag bearer had been chosen either by the nation's National Paralympic Committee or by the athletes themselves.
Parade order[edit]
All nations paraded in an alphabetical order in Brazilian Portuguese, except the host country, Brazil, who entered last.
