FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – 2026 has been an exciting year across the entire New England Revolution organization. The Revs are currently sitting third in the Eastern Conference standings with just nine games remaining in the regular season, owning 13 wins through 25 games. While the first team’s success may be what most see, it’s been a successful year for all parts of the club – especially for the New England Amputee Soccer Association.

The Revolution Amputee Soccer Team are coming off their second championship title at the U.S. Amputee Soccer Cup last month. The tournament was held in New York, as teams from across the country battled it out for the trophy. The Revs reigned victorious and immediately set their sights on September 19, when the team will face the American Amputee Soccer Association All-Stars on Saturday night at Gillette Stadium following the first team’s match against Orlando City SC.

For those who don’t know about amputee soccer or didn’t know New England had a team, Saturday night is a great chance to watch even more Revolution action. Amputee soccer is a competitive sport that makes soccer more accessible to all, but it’s not simply pickup games and community. The New England Revolution Amputee Soccer Team owns one of the strongest rosters in the country, with many players gearing up to represent their countries in the Amputee Soccer World Cup this November.

“We have some of the best players in the country, maybe even the world. That always makes me feel good, because I’m still new to it, but I get to watch other people and see what they do on the field and play against them,” explained Hudson Hammer, who has been training with the team for less than a year. “It’s a little different, but it’s still the same game. So, if you are into soccer, you have to check this out. If you were to take any of those pros and put them on crutches and have them pop around, they’re going to think this is absolutely exhausting.”

Last year, the Revolution Amputee Team took the pitch at Gillette Stadium on April 19, taking down the Metro NY Amputee side in a 5-0 victory under the lights in Foxborough. While the AASA All-Stars are a group of some of the country’s best, New England is confident they’ll find another victory in the annual match.

“We’ll definitely put on a show. I think we will let them know we are still the best, but their competition will be very good. We have repeatedly beat them, and they know that, so they are going to be coming for blood. It’s going to be very high energy,” said Vinny Fischer.

In preparation for the fixture, amputee players came to watch a first team training session earlier this week. Later that evening, Revolution Amputee Soccer Ambassador and defender Will Sands attended their training, giving members of each team a chance to learn from each other.

“It’s really important to build an organization that supports one another. I love what the Revolution are doing with the Amputee Team, Unified Team, and every team to create a top to bottom structure,” explained Sands. “Being involved with this team feels like I am part of something bigger than myself. Sometimes you can get wrapped up in your own problems, but then you see everyone playing the game they love because they love it and that’s beautiful. I think it’s awesome to have them come watch us, and us watch them and I’m excited to watch them play on Saturday.”

For everyone who wears New England’s crest, the desire to win and drive to compete doesn’t change. Whether it's the first team competing or the Amputee Team taking the pitch, the commitment to the game runs just as deep. But when the final whistle sounds, everyone understands that the sport – in every form – is about more than scoring goals and getting results.

“This was the first thing I got to do as an amputee with other fellow amputees, and to me that is huge. It was the first brotherhood for me to get to be with other people that are living a similar story,” said Hammer. “We all have our own story. There’s a story behind all of us, struggles and hardship, but this is a brotherhood and it means a lot.”

The New England Revolution take the pitch against Orlando City SC on Saturday night at 7:30 p.m. ET. Directly after the first team match, the Revolution Amputee squad will take over. All tickets purchased using this link  for the evening’s matchups will contribute $5 to New England Amputee Soccer.
