An idea of amputee football in Cameroon

Amputee football just started. We are purely amateurs as you can see from the video. We plead on your financial and material support. We are in need of a playing ground, jerseys, balls, sporting materials, personnels, first aid materials, crutches, a bus and other stuff. Whatever you have and support will go a long way to touch the lives of amputees here in Cameroon.

There are several amputee football associations around the world. A couple examples of this are the England Amputee Association and The Irish Amputee Football Association. Each organization promotes the advancement of the sport and that it gains more recognition. The England Amputee Football Association states their main goal on their website as: "The England Amputee Football Association's aim is to provide all amputees, people with congenital limb deficiencies and persons with restricted use of limbs, with the opportunity to play football locally, nationally and internationally."
