Disability

As a sport, Football Federation Australia (FFA) values inclusion, fairness, excellence and fun.  These values apply across all levels of the game – from junior clubs through to the elite levels of the sport.

FFA strongly supports the right of people with disabilities to participate in football as players, coaches, referees or administrators and we are committed to developing an environment where accessibility and diversity are valued and nurtured. 

Within the framework of our National Football Development Plan, FFA will help promote positive and informed attitudes towards people with disabilities and encourage and assist staff and volunteers to develop skills and facilities to meet the needs of people with disabilities within available resources. 

Through the ‘Sport CONNECT FFA Disability Action Plan’, FFA and its member federations and clubs will ensure that people with disabilities have the opportunity to become involved in, and experience the fun and excitement of, the most popular game in the world.
