Winners of the 2022 WFS Football Without Limits Award
First ever WFS Football Without Limits Award
Para Football is absolutely delighted that football for persons with disabilities has been recognised by the World Football Summit, helping to give a vital boost to our work in disability inclusion in football.
We aim to support football stakeholders in every continent, country and community to provide #FootballForAll and develop more opportunities for persons with disabilities to choose how they wish to be included and interact with the beautiful game.
"Of the ten categories of the #WFSAwards, the one I am most proud of is the #FootbalWithoutLimits award, presented by #FootballForAll, which values companies, clubs and federations that have supported the inclusion and visibility in sport of people with disabilities, through any initiative, technology, marketing campaign or innovative solution."
