Peterborough Sports goalkeeper seeks help to get to a World Cup in Serbia

Peterborough Sports goalkeeper Sam Edwards has been selected for the Great Britain Under 23 side to compete in the Deaf World Cup in Serbia in May.

Edwards is a veteran of two major Deaf Football tournaments with England, the World Cup in 2023 in Malaysia and the Euros in 2024 in Turkey.

Unfortunately playing for GB is different to playing for England as events are self funded. There is no support from the FA or UK Government. Players have to contribute towards training camps, training and matchday kits, insurances and all on pitch or off pitch equipment.

Edwards has started a GoFundMe campaign to help raise the £2k he needs to take part in Serbia. You can donate here
