The Australian Powerchair Football Association (APFA) is dedicated to
making Powerchair Football a modified, inclusive version of football
(soccer) that is accessible to people who use wheelchairs. As one of
Australia’s leading adaptive sports, Powerchair Football is
fast-paced, action-packed, and designed for individuals with physical
disabilities, including muscular dystrophy, cerebral palsy, spinal
cord injuries, and other neuromuscular conditions.
The sport encourages teamwork, communication, and strategy, and
supports mixed-gender participation, making it one of the most
inclusive football programs in Australia. Athletes can play socially
or progress through local, regional, state, and national levels, with
the potential to represent Australia internationally.
The Poweroos, Australia’s national Powerchair Football team, compete
in global tournaments including the Asia Cup and World Cup. Whether
you're looking to join a local Powerchair Football team, support an
athlete, or learn more about disability sports in Australia, APFA is
here to help you get involved.
