Inclusive Goals: Stasism and IFCPF Forge Path for CP Football Revolution
We're thrilled to announce our partnership with the International Federation of CP Football
(IFCPF) - a game-changing collaboration aimed at promoting inclusion and opportunities for
people with Cerebral Palsy and related neurological conditions. As the world's first social online
platform with therapeutic physical video games, assessment, exercises, and virtual personal
trainers, made specifically for people with Cerebral Palsy, we're excited to leverage our
expertise and unique platform to increase participation in football activities both online and in-
person.
This collaborative initiative is driven by the overarching goal of revolutionizing IFCPF’s classification process through the utilization of Stasism’s innovative technologies to quantify variables and yield precise data. By doing so, it aims to provide a solid foundation for informed decision-making. Every facet of this joint mission is dedicated to dismantling barriers and promoting equitable access to participation and superior classification standards for all individuals.
This partnership also brings together two like-minded organizations with a shared vision for
inclusion and opportunities for people with Cerebral Palsy. IFCPF is the worldwide governing body for CP Football and Frame Football, collaborating with various football bodies such as Para Football, Asian Football Confederation (AFC), and the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA), as well as Paralympic organizations like the International Paralympic Committee (IPC), Americas Paralympic Committee (APC), Asian Paralympic Committee, and European Paralympic Committee (EPC).
By working hand-in-hand with IFCPF and their partners, we're breaking down barriers to
physical activity and promoting a more inclusive world. This partnership is set to revolutionize
the way people with CP engage in physical activity by developing new and innovative
approaches to engaging them, creating new opportunities for physical activity, inclusion, and
Growth.
"At Stasism, we believe that everyone deserves the chance to thrive, no matter their physical limitations," affirmed Kjetil Helland, CEO of Stasism. "That's why we're absolutely thrilled to partner with IFCPF to create even more opportunities for people with Cerebral Palsy to live life to the fullest. Our platform offers a truly unique way for individuals with CP to experience the joy of physical activity through video games, all from the comfort and safety of their own homes. Together with IFCPF, we're excited to make a positive impact in the lives of even more people with CP around the globe."
Sam Turner, CEO/Secretary General of IFCPF, stated "We're thrilled to partner with Stasism
and to explore the potential of this innovative platform to increase participation and promote
inclusion in CP Football activities. This collaboration will lead to new and innovative approaches
to engage people with CP in physical activity, both in-person and online."
We couldn't agree more. This partnership is a significant step towards creating a more inclusive
world for people with Cerebral Palsy and related neurological conditions. We're excited to work
with IFCPF and their partners to reach more people with CP and provide opportunities for them
to be physically active. Together, we're creating a new standard in the world of CP football and
bringing the benefits of physical activity to even more people with CP.
