Parasport Denmark

Denmark's national sport is also popular in Para Sport, where there are opportunities for players with a range of disabilities. 

You can play football regardless of whether you are a child or an adult, boy or girl. On the football pitch, you are challenged tactically, technically and physically, and as in other team sports, the social aspect and togetherness are a large part of the enjoyment of the sport.

Parasport Denmark is the responsible body for Para Football in Denmark, working in cooperation with the Danish Football Association.
