This is a pioneering adapted sports project aimed at people who use electric wheelchairs
On 10 June, the Sala BBK will host the official launch of Bizkaia’s first Powerchair Football team, a pioneering adapted sports project spearheaded by the Haszten Association, in partnership with BBK and the Athletic Club Foundation.
The event will serve to raise awareness of a pioneering project initiated by seven young electric wheelchair users, who until a few months ago considered it impossible to play adapted football.
The project aims to promote social inclusion and improve the quality of life of people with disabilities through adapted sport.
Powerchair Football is a sport specifically designed for electric wheelchair users, combining competition, teamwork and personal development. Beyond the sporting sphere, “Athletic Fundazioa SZ” aims to become a tool for social transformation, highlighting the capabilities of people with disabilities and creating new opportunities for participation and inclusion.
The presentation will feature athletes, project leaders and partner organisations, who will share the objectives, challenges and social impact of this pioneering initiative in Bizkaia.
