Inclusive Football Festival - 18th July 2026

Join us for the Inclusive Football Festival – a fun-filled day designed specifically for disabled young people who want to experience football in a welcoming, supportive, and inclusive environment.

Whether you're new to football or already love the game, this festival is all about having fun, building confidence, making friends, and enjoying being active. Activities will be adapted to suit a range of abilities, ensuring everyone can participate in a way that works for them.

We're excited to be working alongside Western Springs AFC, Eastern Suburbs AFC and Papatoetoe United to create a positive and memorable football experience for disabled youth from across Auckland.

The festival will include:
• Inclusive football games and activities
• Skills challenges and fun stations
• Opportunities to meet other young people
• Supportive coaches and volunteers
• Connections with local football clubs and future playing opportunities

This is more than just a football event – it's a chance to connect, belong, and celebrate what disabled young people can achieve on and off the field.

Come along, have fun, and be part of an amazing day of inclusive football!

Whether you're new to football or have played before, the Inclusive Football Festival offers disabled young people a chance to play, learn, and connect.
