This Is The World's Game

Nico Calabria is a four-time U.S. Men's Amputee Soccer Team captain, board member of the American Amputee Soccer Association, and founder of the New England Amputee Soccer Association. An above-the-knee amputee who joined the national team in 2011, Nico has spent more than a decade not only competing at the highest levels of the sport but actively building the infrastructure around it — helping grow the domestic program from a single national team with no grassroots base to a network of programs operating across the country. He sees amputee soccer as one of the most accessible adaptive sports in the world.
