EPFA Champions Cup Line-Up Announced
As reported earlier in the year, Clyde Powerchair FC will be the first ever Scottish club to represent their country at the EPFA Champions Cup 2020 in Switzerland next August.
The competition is the powerchair equivalant of the UEFA Champions League and, having won their national league, Clyde Alba have earned the right to compete with Europe’s best.
The European Powerchair Football Association has now announced the ten teams that will take part in the competition in Geneva, as below.
- Aspire PFC – England
- Auch Les Twisters – France
- BSF – Denmark
- Clyde Alba – Scotland
- DCU Storm – Ireland
- E-agles Asko Wien – Austria
- FC Inter Powerchair – Finland
- Grafteaux Villeneuve d’Ascq – France
- Midlands United – Ireland
- West Bromwich Albion – England
The Clyde PFC committee has a large task on its hands to raise the funds needed to take the players and carers/families to this prestigious event, a task all involved very much believe can be achieved. It is estimated that a £20,000 total will cover flights, accommodation, transport of sports chairs and meals for the five-day competition.
All donations will be very much appreciated and can be made via the official JustGiving page.
As well as making history, the event will provide the players with precious memories that they can cherish for life. Each player has a different form of disability, which effects everyday living. Through powerchair football, Clyde PFC provides a normality of life through a sport many love.
