The American Amputee Soccer Association extends heartfelt thanks to New York Empire FC for their incredible hospitality during the club’s final home game of the season. In a night filled with energy, community, and inspiration, members of both the U.S. Men’s and Women’s National Amputee Soccer Teams were invited to enjoy a thrilling match—one that delivered on every level.

Despite the rain pouring down over the pitch, Empire FC put on an unforgettable show, netting four goals and leaving the crowd energized. But what stood out most wasn’t just the action on the field—it was the generosity and support shown off the field. The club made a $1,000 donation to support AASA’s upcoming journey to Mexico for the 2026 Amputee Soccer World Cup Qualifiers.

AASA is incredibly grateful to head coach and co-owner Max Ferro, co-owner Rob Mann, and the entire Empire FC organization for championing our mission. It’s partnerships like these that elevate the sport and motivate our athletes as we continue to break barriers and represent the U.S. on the international stage.

We left the night inspired, united, and more ready than ever for the challenges ahead. Thank you, NY Empire FC!
