The England men's amputee football team faces the possibility of missing the 2026 World Cup due to insufficient funding, a situation described as 'criminal' by former head coach Scott Rogers. The team, which reached the round of 16 in the last World Cup and is the current Nations League champion, has launched a GoFundMe campaign to raise £50,000 for the tournament in Mexico.
With only weeks until the World Cup, fans should monitor the GoFundMe campaign's progress and consider supporting the team. The disparity in funding highlights the need for systemic change in how amputee sports are supported, especially as the tournament approaches.
