PARA.Ghost gets a dedicated LAN row in the Esports Hall during Glitched 2026
As part of efforts to promote para-esports and an inclusive esports scene, the organisers of Glitched 2026 announce that the team PARA.Ghost will be allocated a dedicated LAN row in the district Esports City at Elmia. The gaming festival, which attracted thousands of visitors last year, is thus continuing its intensive focus on inclusion and accessibility.
Glitched 2026 takes place on 12-15 June at Elmia in Jönköping and is Sweden's largest LAN festival. With its broad focus on LAN culture, esports tournaments, expo and cosplay, the event fills the halls with gaming enthusiasts from all over the Nordic region.
A dedicated LAN line for availability
Now a significant step is being taken to welcome players with disabilities by reserving a whole row of LAN seats for PARA.Ghost - the pioneering Counter-Strike team that has led the way in para-esports in Sweden.
PARA.Ghost is run by the non-profit organisation PARA Esports and has already made an impact on the Swedish esports scene. The team participated in the Glitched Masters 2025 and has fought its way through tournaments despite great challenges. With profiles such as Sigge ”Siggelito” Stengård, Sebastian ”Malmen”, Emil ”Loggan” and Anton ”Dystrofin”, the team has shown that ”Different is the new cool” - their motto emphasising strength in differences.
”This is a dream scenario for us. Having our own row in the Esport Hall means we can focus entirely on the game without logistical obstacles. Our players are in need of assistance, and this initiative will allow us to create a safe and fun environment”, says Martin Stengård, manager of PARA.Ghost and founder of PARA Esports.

A welcome initiative
The Glitched welcomes the initiative with open arms.
”We want Glitched to be a meeting place for all gamers. PARA.Ghost represents the best of our community - passion, grit and inclusivity. Their presence will inspire many”, comments Christoffer Melin, spokesperson for Glitched.
