The England Development Squad

The England Development Powerchair Football Squad is a national team composed of young and promising powerchair football players who have been identified as having the potential to represent England at the highest level in the future.

The development squad is part of the Football Association’s (FA) Disability Talent Pathway, a program designed to identify and develop talented players with disabilities across various football disciplines, including powerchair football.

Players in the development squad are typically aged between 16 and 25 years old and are selected based on their skills, potential, and commitment to the sport. 

The ultimate goal of the development squad is to provide a pathway for players competing within the WFA National League structure to progress to the England national powerchair football team and compete at the highest level of international competition, including the FIPFA Powerchair Football World Cup and EPFA’s Nations Cup.
