Throughout the year, the Premier League Foundation and the clubs we support help to make football a game for all by breaking down barriers for those with disabilities.
Our programmes, Premier League Kicks, Premier League Inspires and Premier League Primary Stars, provide opportunities and experiences for young people to fulfill their potential.
Pan-disability sessions cater for footballers with a wide range of disabilities, hearing and visually impaired, cerebral palsy, autism and amputee footballers.
As part of this provision, a series of summer disability football festivals are held across the country to give participants the opportunity to come together, compete and celebrate their achievements.
And to mark this week's International Day of Persons with Disabilities, we hear from people taking part in one of these festivals run by Everton in the Community to find out how disability football is making an impact on them and those they work with.

"I was born with a defect in my leg and about three years ago I had to have it amputated. When my leg was amputated, I was 100 per cent certain that I was going to carry on playing. Nothing's going to stop me.
"I have been with Premier League Inspires for over a year now. Huddersfield Town Foundation come into my school and they help with my mental health, they talk to you about life.
"They ask us about where we see ourselves, where we want to be, what job we would like. They ask you questions about yourself. They get a lot of people to talk.
"You get to talk and to share things. It's got me thinking now about what I want to be when I'm older, without Huddersfield I wouldn't have thought about it.
"Being at a Premier League Disability Football Festival and representing Huddersfield Town is an amazing experience. It's a pleasure to be here. The atmosphere is really good.
"It helps me. You play against different people that have got different disabilities, get to know a bit more about other people and how they play football. It's another experience in life.
"It means a lot to be part of this. My mum is really proud of me. My family was proud of me. School was proud of me. I'm really proud of myself.
"Being here makes me feel that I am not alone. There's loads of people here and everyone is enjoying it.
"I want to become a professional disability footballer. Football makes me really happy. Tournaments like this keep me motivated.
"I'm going to think about what I can improve on. I'm trying to sort out my mistakes and hopefully when there is a next tournament, I'll come back even better. It gives me a lot of confidence.
"These tournaments are really important for disability sport. Disabled people have a lot of talent that doesn't get shown so it's really good to have this type of thing. Having this opportunity to show what I can do is really important to me.
"We are showing that disability is not a barrier. There are some people who say rude stuff, but you can't let that stop you, you have to carry on going, you have to prove them wrong."
