“I love Powerchair Football, it has given me not only the opportunity to play sport at the highest level, but also the chance to make lifelong friends as well”
Jonathan Nguyen - Powerchair Football Player
“Powerchair Football has opened a lot of doors for people like me who use a power wheelchair for daily mobility to participate in sports and one day potentially represent on the national and international stage. I’ve been fortunate enough to meet and forge meaningful friendships through the Powerchair Football community and love that there’s an outlet to express myself competitively through this amazing game! It’s given myself and my teammates here in South Australia a chance to be included and realise our dream of being elite athletes regardless of physical ability”
