Women amputees from multiple South American countries are taking part in a training camp in Bolivia aimed at preparing for the 2027 Women’s Amputee Football World Cup. Reporting from several outlets describes the camp as the first soccer training program of its kind in South America for female amputee players seeking to represent their countries in the tournament.
The athletes train on soccer fields in eastern Bolivia through activities such as sprints, dribbling, and set-piece work, reflecting the sport’s competitive format. The women’s amputee football competition is played as a seven-a-side game. According to coverage that details the tournament rules, players are required to remove prosthetic limbs before matches begin.
While the exact number of participating countries is stated as ten in one account and described more generally as several countries in others, all sources agree the event brings together women amputees from across the region for centralized preparation ahead of the 2027 World Cup.
