Wheelchair Football volunteer Daniel Levy said an "exciting, goal-filled match (4-1)" provided a fitting end to a great season.

"A season that saw an influx of new players and, for a lucky group of players, the thrill of watching the Matildas beat Canada 4-0 at AAMI Stadium in the Group Stage of the World Cup," he said.

"Everyone is already looking forward to the 2024 season and catching up during the off-season.  After all, Wheelchair Football is just as much about social interaction as it is about sport!"

The competition is always looking for new players and volunteers and it’s a great opportunity for people with a disability to develop football skills, meet new people, and have a lot of fun.
