The ultimate stage is set, the destination is locked in, and the journey has officially begun. From November 13th to 22nd, 2026, the elite athletes of the U.S. Men’s National Amputee Soccer Team will take the pitch in San Juan de los Lagos, Mexico, to compete in the 2026 World Cup.
This tournament represents the absolute pinnacle of adaptive sports, bringing together the most talented powerhouse nations from around the globe. For Team USA, this is the moment they have spent countless grueling hours preparing for in the gym, on the track, and on the pitch. They are ready to wear the crest, represent the Red, White, and Blue, and showcase world-class athleticism on the global stage.
However, competing at this level requires an elite support system off the pitch, and that is where our community comes in.
The Reality of Elite Adaptive Sports
While our squad trains with the exact same intensity, passion, and tactical discipline as any mainstream professional sports team, amputee soccer does not receive institutional government funding. Every single plane ticket, training facility rental, hotel room, and specialized piece of equipment is made possible through grassroots fundraising and the generosity of supporters like you.
Our players sacrifice their time, energy, and personal resources to represent their country. Our mission is to ensure that financial barriers never stand in the way of an athlete earning their spot on the world stage.
Why Your Support Creates Real Transformation
Beyond the tactical goals scored and the final tallies on the scoreboard, this campaign is about building a lasting legacy for the adaptive sports community.
When a young person with a limb difference watches Team USA step onto the pitch in Mexico, competing with fierce determination and elite athleticism, it completely reframes what they believe is possible for their own future. By backing this fundraiser, you are directly investing in a powerful symbol of resilience. You are helping to prove that boundaries are meant to be broken and that elite sports belong to everyone.
Your support advocates for adaptive athletics globally, creating visibility, opportunity, and inclusion for athletes everywhere.
Where the Funds Go
Every dollar raised through the campaign goes directly toward the vital operational costs of sending a national team abroad:
Safe, reliable international travel and lodging for the roster and staff.
High-performance training camps to ensure the team is in peak physical condition.
Specialized athletic gear, sports nutrition, and medical support.
Tournament registration fees and essential logistical expenses in Mexico.
