Powerchair Football

Powerchair Football is a competitive team sport for people with disabilities who use power wheelchairs.

The game is played in a gymnasium on a regulation basketball court. Two teams of four players use powerchairs equipped with foot guards to attack, defend and spin-kick a large football in an attempt to score goals.

There is a great North-West structure in place and a National League, where teams from all over the country come together over several weekends in the year as part of the league fixture programme. Powerchair football is a very exciting and adaptable format, which requires skill and a good understanding of the game, just like any other form of our nation’s favourite sport.

To find your nearest Powerchair football club in the North-West, please visit the interactive map above.
