In 2024, 117 players from 10 nations changed the game in Barranquilla, Colombia. For the AASA, it was a landmark year: The U.S. Women’s National Team secured a 2nd Place finish , and our goalkeeper earned the prestigious Golden Glove  award. As we look to 2027, the WAFF is focused on inviting even more nations to participate in this rapidly expanding sport. We are thrilled to see international interest peaking, with Rwanda, Brazil, and Poland  already submitting bids to host.

Due to unforeseen circumstances, the 2026 Men’s Amputee Soccer World Cup has been rescheduled. We are excited to announce that the tournament will now take place in San Juan de los Lagos, Mexico, from November 13th to 22nd. The AASA remains fully committed to the mission. We look forward to competing against the best in the world and continuing to grow the beautiful game on an international stage. See you in Mexico!
