Many thanks to BVM Ltd for sponsoring Solent Powerchair Football Club, based in Southampton.

Powerchair football is played in specially adapted motorised wheelchairs, allowing the players to hit the ball with the front grill on their wheelchair. The teams are 4-a-side and the matches are played indoors. The games are 40 minutes long with unlimited subs. The sport is a great way for people of all ages, who are confined to a wheelchair, to play the sport they love!

Each motorised wheelchair costs around £8,000 to purchase, plus they need to be maintained and also transported to the games and tournaments they play. This is one reason why many powerchair teams struggle financially to purchase new sportswear for their players. At Kord Sport we were thrilled to help and we designed and supplied the kit as well from our own label brand.
