EE DISABILITY FA CUP 2025 RETURNS TO ST GEORGE’S PARK THIS SUMMER

This year’s event is the first under its new name, with EE becoming an official title partner for the next four years following continued support and partnership of the tournament since 2022. This move will enhance the competition’s alignment with its other prestigious counterparts – the Emirates FA Cup and the Adobe Women’s FA Cup.

Creating the largest competition of its kind, the finals ensure that players within impairment-specific football have a national FA competition to call their own with a total of six formats of the game competing: Amputee, Blind, Cerebral Palsy, Deaf, Partially Sighted and Powerchair.

Fans will have the chance to visit St George’s Park which will be open for all to attend the finals and cheer on the teams from the stands.

TNT Sports will show every match exclusively live on TNT Sports 1.

For fans able to attend, the Experience Area will return for 2025; a dedicated space for equipment and adaptions to simulate some of the formats of disability football showcased throughout the finals weekend.

These introductory sessions are in conjunction with The FA’s Disability Football strategy – Football Without Limits. The strategy’s aims include increasing participation and the number of coaches, creating an inclusive talent pathway, building support for elite players, and raising awareness of disability football at all levels.
