The International Federation of Cerebral Palsy Football (IFCPF) is the world governing body for cerebral palsy football. It was founded in January 2015, when the governance of the sport transferred from the Cerebral Palsy International Sports and Recreation Association (CPISRA).

History

[edit]

From 1978 to 2014, cerebral palsy football was governed by the Cerebral Palsy International Sport and Recreation Association (CPISRA). On 1 January 2015, CP football became an independent sport and the International Federation of Cerebral Palsy Football (IFCPF) was created to govern the game.[1][2] After the 2016 Paralympic Games, women CP football was started.[3] The first-ever IFCPF Women's World Cup was played in 2022.[4]

Members

[edit]

The IFCPF is organized zonally, with members belonging to one of five continental zones. These zones are Africa, the Americas, Asia, Europe and Oceania.[6] These members are often either national cerebral palsy football associations, national cerebral palsy sports federations, national Paralympic committees, or national football associations. The type of member in the IFCPF varies by country.[6]

Player classification

[edit]

CP football teams consist of seven ambulant athletes on the field of play, with cerebral palsy or a traumatic brain injury. In total, 14 players can be listed on the team sheet. In order to ensure fairness between two teams, each team must have two FT5 or FT6 (FT1) players on the field at all times and no more than one FT8 (FT3) player on the field at any time.[9][10][11]

There are two sets of classifications that are used in CP Football: pre-2018 classifications and post-2018 classifications. Pre-2018, the classifications ranged from FT5 (CP5) to FT8 (CP8) where FT8 players show minimal impairment and FT5 players show more significant impairment. The Pre-2018 classifications are still used domestically.[9]

Post-2018, the classification system was revamped and the eligible classification for international matches ranging from FT1–FT3. Players classed as FT1 are considered to have more significant impairment (FT5 and FT6 equivalent) and FT3 players have minimal impairment (FT8 equivalent). Both classification systems are based off an individual's type of movement and where the impairment is located.[9][10]

Relationships

[edit]

In 2016, it signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Asian Football Confederation. Part of this involved the AFC supporting an AFC Youth CP Football Tournament in 2017.[12] In 2014, 2015 and 2016, IFCPF was getting financial support from UEFA.[13][14][15][16][17][18]

Anti-doping

[edit]

The IFCPF is a WADA signatory.[19] In 2016, after getting an endorsement by the World AntiDoping Agency (WADA), the IFCPF Anti-Doping Code was formally amended to allow for out of competition testing. This was done through a WADA approved Whereabouts Programme managed through ADAMS. Drawing from players in a Registered Testing Pool, 10 players from 9 countries were initially included ahead of the 2016 Summer Paralympics in Rio. These countries included Netherlands, Japan, Russia, Iran, Argentina, Ireland, Ukraine, England, and Brazil.[12]
