Deaf Sports New Zealand

Each club focuses on Futsal, in terms of Mens Grade, Womens Grade and Mixed Grade.

We have annual futsal tournaments in different locations around Aotearoa.We often have guest teams, such as Australia coming over occasionally. We also have barbarian teams for players as we focus on inclusion and ensuring everyone gets to play futsal.

New Zealand Deaf Football also travels to Australia to participate in the Australian Deaf Games, as we have done in Albury 2018, and 2024. We plan to attend in 2026 – For Australia Deaf Games Info – contact Deaf Sports on nzteam26@deafsports.co.nz.
