🌟 Football has always been my passion and even more so, promoting pan disability football and raising much needed autism awareness along the way.
❤️ We have watched our amazing BEE UNIQUE FC players grow from strength to strength. We are super proud of each and every one of our players.
🤩 The greatest reward for us is providing a platform and opportunity for the children to be able to show off their amazing skills and abilities, playing a sport that they love and simply being themselves.
