Fortune Flyers Objectives

The aim of Fortune Flyers, a special needs women’s football team, is to provide an inclusive and empowering space where women with additional needs can enjoy football, grow in confidence, and connect with others. The team is about more than just playing a sport. It offers a sense of belonging, encouragement, and the chance to be part of something meaningful.

Football helps improve physical health, coordination, and communication skills. For many women in the team, it also boosts mental wellbeing and self-esteem. Regular training provides structure and purpose, while matches offer the excitement of teamwork, achievement, and personal progress.

Inclusion in sport is essential because everyone should have the opportunity to participate, regardless of ability. For women with special needs, playing football with Fortune Flyers can be a powerful way to overcome barriers, build friendships, and feel seen and valued.
