The global landscape of amputee soccer took a historic step forward recently in Santa Cruz de la Sierra, Bolivia. Members of the American Amputee Soccer Association (AASA) U.S. Women’s National Team traveled to participate in South America's first-ever women’s amputee football camp.

Representing the United States, national team players Amie Donathan and Sydney Coblentz made the journey to train, connect, and share the pitch with fellow athletes from across the globe. In total, 35 trailblazing women participated in the landmark event.

Breaking Barriers on the Pitch

The camp represents a monumental milestone for adaptive sports. Designed specifically to foster growth and development in the region, the event provided top-tier training while establishing a vital network for international collaboration.

Beyond tactical drills and conditioning, the camp’s core mission is to create sustainable pathways, resources, and new opportunities for women and girls with limb differences. By bringing together 35 players from different backgrounds, the camp served as both an elite training ground and a powerful cultural exchange, proving that passion for the game transcends borders.

Paving the Way for the Future

The energy and momentum built in Bolivia will undoubtedly carry forward as AASA continues its mission to expand competitive opportunities for athletes at home and abroad. We look forward to the second Women's amputee soccer World Cup taking place in 2027.
