AmiGo – wheelchair football in motion: technology, team spirit, triumph

AmiGo turns wheelchair sports into a truly participatory experience – whether at school, on the football pitch or at REHACARE 2025 in Düsseldorf.

In brief: AmiGo & Kickit at REHACARE 2025

AmiGo turns wheelchair football (often called 'wheelchair soccer in the U.S.) into an active experience – whether at school, in clubs or at tournaments.
Test it live at the trade fair: Tech2Play will be showcasing the AmiGo in the Sports Centre (Hall 7a) with demonstrations and hands-on activities.
The AmiGo fits many wheelchairs and can be controlled individually – for children and adults, beginners and professionals.

Kickit: The new wheelchair football

"Today was the best day of my career" – that's how Wouter van Driel, sports teacher at the 'de Brug' special school, describes a test day with the AmiGo. What sounds like an advertising slogan is reality for many people: with the AmiGo, football is not only accessible to wheelchair users, but also a real highlight.

The underlying game is called Kickit – a dynamic team sport that focuses on technique, fairness and fun. There are two formats:

Kickit Champions: for beginners of all ages, 3 against 3, without a goalkeeper, on a 20 x 10 metre field.
Kickit Class 1: for advanced players, with 4 players per team (including goalkeeper), on a field twice the size and with extended rules.

AmiGo – The heart of the game

The AmiGo is an innovative sports aid that attaches to the front of a manual or electric wheelchair. It allows you to pick up the ball, pass, shoot and even take the ball away from opposing players – almost like in real football

Features at a glance:

Ball catcher: Automatically picks up balls across the entire width.
Ball shooter: Two buttons enable precise passes (button 1) or powerful shots (button 2).
Ball winner: The 'flippers' on the side help to take the ball away from opponents.
Game host & controller: Can be controlled by remote control, settings can be adjusted

Easy to attach to your own wheelchair, there is no need to transfer to special sports equipment – a big advantage for everyday life and school.
