Inclusive United

November 18, 2014

A new project gets more disabled people playing the beautiful game.

Inclusive United is a flagship partnership project which aims to get more disabled people playing football. 

Funded by The FA and Wembley National Stadium Trust, Inclusive United has been going since 2012 and is a Co-operative of fourteen Professional Football clubs in London.  

The team is part of wider scheme “London United”, which aims to get clubs working together to battle social issues that are affecting London, such as health, disability, crime, education and community cohesion.  

During its first three years, Inclusive United plans to involve over 3000 disabled footballers, and looks to include anyone with any disability, be it physical or visual impairment, or learning disabilities.

    Sadly this hasn’t filtered out of London regionally disability football from what I’ve seen is a total mess.

    As a woman who also played football mainstream before my condition got worse I have faced huge discrimination because of my gender within disability football – I was banned from competition only allowed to train.

    I won the fight to be treated equally within my national league but there is no development oppertunaties for woman and girls. Last year I was the only woman to play in both tiers of our national league.
