England Deaf International Futsal - Brazil 2023

Hi All,

Thank you for taking the time to visit our “Go Fund Me” page.

Without warning, the FA board of Trustees and Committees had reached a decision not to provide funding towards the England Futsal Deaf squads which was bizarre considering that the men’s squad had qualified for European Deaf Championship at short notice. This also applies to the women’s squad had finished a creditable 4th place at the European Deaf Futsal Championships in Finland on December 2018, despite several odds stacked against us such as missing key players and injuries. And we qualified for the World Deaf Futsal Championships! The article can be found here. The move by the FA had completely devastated us for we would now be forced to self-fund should we enter prestigious futsal events in the near future.

However, both the England Deaf Men’s and Women's Futsal teams represented the nation with pride in partaking in the 6th European Deaf Futsal Championship at Montesilvano, Italy on October 2022. The EDIF Men’s team has finished 7th for the first time in the history after Quarter Final. The EDIF Women’s team has finished with Gold Medal for the first time in history! The European Champions!

As the journey in Montesilvano was completed, both teams qualified to participate in the World Deaf Championship, in November 2023 in São Paulo, Brazil. And we would need to 'self-fund' ourselves to enable England to take their rightful place in this prestigious World Deaf Championships. In this respect, we would need funding support on an enormous scale to cover the costs of the elite competition.

To help promote our worthy cause, we will need your kind donations to allow us to attend the World Deaf Futsal Championship 2023.
