The projects
The Paralympic and Experimental Football Division (DCPS) of the FIGC was established on October 3, 2019, with the goal of promoting the spread of football among people with disabilities. To achieve this, it organizes 7-a-side football competitions on a regional scale, structured into different categories and culminating in national finals.
As of today, over 100 clubs and approximately 140 teams participate in DCPS competitions, many of which are affiliated with professional football clubs from Serie A, B, and C, or with amateur organizations.
Among the clubs involved in this important project, AC Milan and Fondazione Milan have chosen to support APD Vharese, a multi-sport amateur association for athletes with intellectual and relational disabilities based in Varese. With this initiative, the Rossoneri family reaffirms its commitment to inclusion and to ensuring access to sports for all, emphasizing the educational, social, and unifying values of football.
The project seeks to make football accessible to everyone and to organize inclusive competitions that encourage both growth and interaction among teams. It aims to foster social integration by using football as a tool to break down physical and social barriers while enhancing local sports initiatives. Additionally, the project supports the personal and professional development of athletes and promotes cultural change through the value of inclusivity in sports.
The project is dedicated to 20 athletes and coaches from APD Vharese.
