The Wheelchair Football Association (WFA) would like to sincerely thank Optegra Eye Health Care following the conclusion of their sponsorship of the WFA National League Premiership and Championship for the 2024/25 season.
The partnership, which ran across the 2024/25 campaign, came during one of the most memorable seasons in WFA National League history. Both the Premiership and Championship produced football of an unprecedented standard, with close contests, dramatic storylines, and players showcasing their very best on the national stage.
The season also marked a breakthrough in visibility, with live streams reaching record audiences and drawing new supporters into the sport. Having Optegra’s support during such a defining year ensured those moments were shared more widely than ever before.
Dean Williams, Chairperson of the WFA, said:
“What a part you have played, Optegra! Overseeing the most competitive Premiership and Championship seasons to date, your support and engagement has been exemplary and truly appreciated. As a charity and association, we are better and stronger as a result of our time together. The term of our partnership may have come to an end, but I know we have gained many new friends and fans. Thank you sincerely, Optegra.”
As the new season approaches, The WFA reflects with gratitude on a partnership that has not only supported the delivery of the National League, but also created new advocates for the sport. While the sponsorship was always in place for the 2024/25 season, its impact will be felt far beyond it.
The WFA extends its thanks once again to everyone at Optegra for their dedication and enthusiasm, and looks forward to seeing the relationship continue in new ways as the National League moves into its next chapter.
The opportunity to sponsor the WFA Premiership and Championship last season was a crucial part of our community outreach programme. A number of our team have had the opportunity to attend matches and annual award ceremonies and have found these to be deeply inspiring. The passion, dedication, and personal sacrifice all the players demonstrate is a privilege to witness. Changing lives for the better is deep-rooted in our Optegra values, and this is why the collaboration has been so successful. Everyone at Optegra wishes the leadership, coaches, and players of the WFA all the best for the forthcoming season, and thank you for the opportunity to work alongside you all.
About the WFA
The WFA National League, now approaching its 19th season, is the top level of Powerchair Football in England. The league has grown significantly since it began in the 2005-06 season and now features 24 teams in the Premiership and Championship divisions. The Premiership, the top tier, consists of 12 teams that compete in a round-robin format, playing each other twice during the season. The Championship operates in a similar manner and serves as the second tier of competition.
At the end of each season, the top two teams from the Championship are promoted to the Premiership, while the bottom two teams from the Premiership are relegated. A play-off match between the 3rd-placed team in the Championship and the 10th-placed team in the Premiership decides the final spot in the top division for the following season. The league structure is supported by six Regional Leagues, providing a pathway from grassroots participation to elite national competition.
About Powerchair Football
The Wheelchair Football Association (WFA) is the national governing body for Powerchair Football in England; a unique sport that offers people with physical impairments the opportunity to play football. Since its establishment in 2005, the WFA has played a crucial role in developing and promoting the sport, providing a competitive platform for individuals with physical disabilities.
Powerchair Football is an exciting and fast-paced sport played on a basketball-sized court in a four-a-side format. Players use specially designed powerchairs to manoeuvre and control the ball on the pitch. The sport is inclusive, allowing people of all ages, disabilities, and genders to compete together. It offers participants a chance to engage in regular physical activity and experience competition, which may be rare for many due to their impairments. This helps build important life skills such as teamwork and communication.
