Amp Football Belgium

One leg, two crutches, seven opponents who forget it.

Football with an amputation or a limb difference. Everyone is welcome: young or old, men or women, with or without football experience. From recreational level to the international top.

Never played football? That is fine too. You are welcome to just come and try.

Who we are

An unusual sight. Still simply football.

Watching people chase a ball on crutches is not an everyday sight. Yet that is exactly what happens here: the same ball, the same pressure, the same joy after a goal.

Amp Football Belgium brings people with an amputation or limb difference back to the country’s most popular sport. At a club nearby, in the new Belgian league and with the national team at international tournaments.

UEFA recognised amputee football in 2015. The RBFA followed and recognised the sport in Belgium too.

What is amputee football?

What a match looks like

We play 7 against 7, not 11 against 11. The sport has its own rules, but despite them it feels like ordinary football.

7 against 7

Seven players a side instead of eleven

Where ordinary football is eleven against eleven, we play with seven: six outfield players and one keeper. Substitutions are unlimited, so everyone gets on the pitch.

Crutches

Crutches are legs, not hands

Outfield players move on crutches. The crutch may not play the ball or block an opponent.

One arm

The keeper is missing (part of) an arm

An outfield player is missing (part of) a leg, the keeper (part of) an arm. Everyone plays under the same conditions.

2 × 25

Two halves of 25 minutes, half a pitch

Matches are played on a smaller pitch, roughly half a standard field. Short, fast and intense.

The full rulebook is published by the World Amputee Football Federation

Who is this for?

For you. No conditions.

Do you have an amputation or a limb difference? Then you can play. There is no selection at the door and no minimum level. For one player it is about moving, having fun and belonging to a group. For another it leads to competition, the national team or the international top.

  • Any age
  • Men or women
  • Any skin colour
  • Any background or nationality
  • Any belief
  • With or without football experience

On this pitch only what you do with the ball counts.

A dedicated youth programme with its own training sessions and junior camps. Playing, falling, getting back up and above all: belonging. Parents are always welcome to stay and ask questions.

Women play, simply as part of the team. On top of that there are separate women’s camps, in Ghent among other places, where you can start in a group that feels safe. Never played football? That is the usual starting point.
