Lucy Bronze donated for GB deaf football
England & Chelsea defender Lucy Bronze donated £10,000 to the Great Britain Deaf Football team to support their preparations for the Deaflympics in November.
- The donation covers costs for training kit, nutrition, and additional essential support items.
- According to Bronze: everyone deserves the opportunity to compete — just because a team is outside the “mainstream limelight” doesn’t mean they shouldn’t get help.
- The Great Britain Deaf Football squad lacks consistent support from the national governing bodies, in part because deafness is not classed as a “qualifying disability” for the Paralympics, limiting access to some funding streams.
- The team frequently has to fundraise for international events, covering costs like travel, accommodation, kit, etc. Bronze’s donation helps reduce that burden.
- GB Deaf Football publicly expressed gratitude, stating they are “beyond grateful” for Bronze’s support, which benefits both their men’s and women’s squads.
