Regional Leagues

The Wheelchair Football Association are supporting the development of Regional Powerchair Football Leagues. As the number of Clubs and Teams continue to grow, the WFA aims to offer a number of competitive playing opportunities.

A number of the Regional Leagues are in their early stages and will only operate on a "friendly" basis. This is to provide new Clubs and Players with the opportunity to gain experience and the game to develop.

It is hoped these leagues will eventually become established and provide a league structure to feed and service the WFA National League competitions.
