Powerchair football is a dynamic and fast-paced sport designed specifically for athletes who use power wheelchairs. It provides individuals with physical disabilities the opportunity to compete in a team-based, strategic game that emphasizes skill, coordination, and teamwork. The sport is played worldwide and is governed by the Federation Internationale de Powerchair Football Association (FIPFA).
Powerchair football is played indoors on a basketball-sized court with two teams of four players each (including a goalkeeper). The objective is to score more goals than the opposing team by maneuvering a 13-inch soccer ball into the opponent’s goal using specially designed powerchairs equipped with protective footguards.
