EE Disability FA Cup returns to St. George’s Park this summer
The EE Disability FA Cup will make its highly anticipated return for its ninth edition this summer, taking place at St. George’s Park across the weekend of 28-29 June 2025.
This year, the tournament will feature a new name, as the EE Disability FA Cup. Following their continued support and partnership of the tournament since 2022, EE becomes the official title partner for the next four years, enhancing the competition’s alignment with its other prestigious counterparts – The Emirates FA Cup and the Adobe Women’s FA Cup.
The EE Disability FA Cup brings together six formats of impairment-specific football: Amputee, Blind, Cerebral Palsy, Deaf, Partially Sighted, and Powerchair. Played across six finals at St. George’s Park, the competition provides a platform for disabled players to showcase their talent on the national stage, at the home of England football.
As a key pillar of The FA’s Disability Football strategy – Football Without Limits – the EE Disability FA Cup plays a vital role in the growth and awareness of disability football in England. The strategy’s aims include increasing participation and the number of coaches, creating an inclusive talent pathway, building support for elite players, and raising awareness of disability football at all levels.
The full schedule for this year’s EE Disability FA Cup will be confirmed in due course.
James Kendall, Director of Football Development at The FA said: “We are thrilled to welcome EE as the title partner of the EE Disability FA Cup. The refreshed name and logo further elevates the competition as a key event in the national football calendar, in line with our other FA competitions. This event is a celebration of the incredible talent in disability football, and we look forward to an exciting, action-packed weekend at St. George’s Park.”
Kelly Engstrom, Brand Communications Director, EE said: “We are delighted to be continuing our support for the EE Disability FA Cup, with our status as title partner demonstrating our commitment to amplifying and celebrating para and disability football. Since joining in 2022, we have been privileged to witness the growth of this tournament, and have no doubt that this year’s iteration will continue to serve up brilliant moments and opportunities for players, coaches and fans too.”
