Passionate about Football

Capturing some of the players’ best shots.

When we asked members of Singapore’s national cerebral palsy football team to describe themselves, they used words and phrases like:

  • very active

  • jack of all trades in sport

  • strong will power

  • go all out to fulfil desires

  • shy

  • thinker

  • playful

  • not give up

  • achieving goals

  • cheerful

  • love to make jokes

  • carve out something great

  • happy-go-lucky

  • enjoy simple things


And over and over again, they said: passionate for football.

Not one player spoke about having cerebral palsy.

They’re footballers. That’s how they see themselves.
