We are proud and deeply humbled to have supported the Nigeria Disability Football Team (Special Eagles) by providing essential crutches that enabled the players to participate fully in their recent international tournament in Cairo Egypt.
For athletes living with disabilities, access to appropriate mobility equipment is not a luxury — it is a necessity. Properly fitted and durable crutches provide stability, balance, and confidence on and off the field. Without them, participation at a competitive level becomes extremely challenging. By supplying this vital equipment, we removed a barrier and ensured these determined athletes could compete safely, proudly, and with dignity.
Sport is a powerful tool for inclusion. It builds resilience, teamwork, discipline, and self-belief. For the Special Eagles, representing their country is more than a game — it is a statement of ability, strength, and national pride. Their participation in Morocco showcased not only their athletic talent but also the extraordinary determination of persons living with disabilities who refuse to be defined by limitations.
This life-changing support was made possible through the generosity and collaboration of our valued UK partners, TTR. Their continued commitment to saving lives and restoring mobility makes a tangible and lasting difference. Partnerships like this demonstrate how collective action can transform opportunities for individuals and communities.
At the Osteogenesis Imperfecta Foundation Network, we remain committed to promoting mobility, independence, and inclusion for people living with disabilities. Supporting the Nigeria Disability Football Team reflects our wider mission — to empower individuals, remove barriers, and create pathways for participation at every level.
We congratulate the team on their courage, dedication, and inspiring performance. It is an honour to stand alongside them as they continue to break barriers and make their nation proud.
Together, through partnership and compassion, we are changing lives — one step, one opportunity, and one success story at a time.
