Aspire PSC (Aspire Powerchair Sports Club) consists of 2 Powerchair Football teams (Aspire PFC and Muscle Warriors PFC) and was formed in 2002.

 

The sport was introduced to the UK by Hiroshi Takahashi from Japan.  He demonstrated Powerchair Football at Aspire Rehabilitation Center at RNOH Stanmore; this is where Powerchair Football in the UK was born.  

 

Aspire PSC hosted the first ever tournament and finished runners up to MYPC (Middlesex Young Peoples Club).

​

Since the first tournament, players representing Aspire PFC decided to continue their training together.  A second tournament was then held at Treloars College. The Football Association took more of an interest in the sport and decided to set up the WFA  (Wheelchair Football Association) in 2004. Aspire PFC was a founding member of the WFA, meaning Aspire was officially the first club in the UK.

​

Between 2002 – 2005, more clubs were formed throughout the country and powerchair football became more and more popular. The WFA decided then to create a National League in 2006.  This League was split up into 2 pools where the top two team would progress to the semi-final and final.  Aspire PFC won this unbeaten.

​

The 2007/08 season saw the National League split up into two divisions, the Premiership and the Championship.  Aspire PFC won the Premiership unbeaten, making them the first Premiership champions.  They attended the first ever powerchair football Champions League, where many teams across Europe battle it out for the number one spot and trophy. The team also hosted the 2nd Champions League at Stoke Mandeville in Aylesbury.

​

Since the beginning of The WFA leagues, Aspire PFC have been the most successful team, winning the premiership division a record breaking 8 times, Disability FA Cup 8 times (most recently in 2025 - highlights here) and the only UK team to win The EPFA Champions League Cup, in 2024 - highlights here. Aspire notably have many individually successful players, many throughout the years have played for England.

​​

Added to that, Muscle Warriors are the current Championship Champions, so the 2025/6 season is one where both teams are competing at the Premier level.

 

Aspire PFC and Muscle Warriors PFC are the ones to watch.
