Special Champions League

The Special Champions League is a project that aims to enhance the social inclusion of people with an intellectual disability in society through a European Football project. Together with EFDN, SOEE, and eight distinguished football clubs, the plan is to set up a grassroots model for creating and managing a football team for athletes with intellectual disabilities. Young individuals over the age of 15 with intellectual disabilities will be provided with frequent opportunities to play football at a level they are comfortable with. Each football club will deliver regular training sessions, matches, social activities, and educational workshops for three four-month periods within their local community. By creating a method to develop local football teams to train and compete at a low level, they can participate in Special Champions League international match days all over Europe.
