The
2015 Cerebral Palsy seven a side World Cup will be held at St

15 nations will join the England team for two weeks, with games being
played every other day. Eight Paralympic places will be up for grabs,

R of Ireland, Australia, Portugal
Brazil,
Scotland, USA, Venezuela
Netherlands,
Argentina, Canada, N Ireland

is the biggest ever disability football event in this country and we

prestige and the profile it deserves...."
