Inclusive Football Festival - 18th July 2026

Join us for the Inclusive Football Festival – a fun-filled day designed specifically for disabled young people who want to experience football in a welcoming, supportive, and inclusive environment.

Whether you're new to football or already love the game, this festival is all about having fun, building confidence, making friends, and enjoying being active. Activities will be adapted to suit a range of abilities, ensuring everyone can participate in a way that works for them.

We're excited to be working alongside Western Springs AFC, Eastern Suburbs AFC and Papatoetoe United to create a positive and memorable football experience for disabled youth from across Auckland.

The festival will include:
• Inclusive football games and activities
• Skills challenges and fun stations
• Opportunities to meet other young people
• Supportive coaches and volunteers
• Connections with local football clubs and future playing opportunities

This is more than just a football event – it's a chance to connect, belong, and celebrate what disabled young people can achieve on and off the field.

Come along, have fun, and be part of an amazing day of inclusive football!

Awesome session tonight at Inclusive Football ⚽ Some of the players are getting ready for a tournament on July 18 (watch this space). Thanks Albany Football Hub for such a great venue!

Inclusive Football were invited to take part in the first Special Olympics tournament of the year hosted by Waitakere at Parrs Park. Top effort by the players, for most of them it was their first tournament! Super proud! Looking forward to the next one

We're already 4 sessions in of Term 2! Loving the vibes at Inclusive Football. Thanks everyone for letting me take a picture (finally remembered) Big shout out to Albany Football Hub for the perfect venue to host these sessions

Week 3 already of term 2! 23 players came along on Tuesday night 🙌 Thank you for the amazing 5 volunteers and Albany Football Hub for such an inclusive awesome venue!

What an incredible day at the Adaptive Football Festival! ⚽💛

Huge credit to Eastern Suburbs AFC and everyone involved for creating such a welcoming, inclusive environment where players of all ages and abilities could simply enjoy the game.

From the first kick-off to the final smiles, the energy was unreal. It wasn’t about competition — it was about confidence, connection, and celebrating what football should be: a game for everyone. Seeing players support each other, try new skills, and just have fun was something special.

A big shoutout to the volunteers, coaches, and families who made the day run so smoothly. And thank you to our amazing supporters Centre north shore, Centre East Tamaki, , and Pak’nSave Glen Innes for helping make the day possible 🙌

And of course, to all the players — you were the stars of the show 🌟
