Several deaf footballers have managed to reach the professional ranks over the last century, but the number is not large – a total of around a dozen have been noted. Some have reached the highest levels of the game, while others have had only limited opportunities to succeed at the top level. Some accounts suggest that more appear to have been rejected because of their inability to hear, rather than because of their football abilities. Those deaf footballers achieving league status include instances of players born either profoundly deaf at an early age, or during their playing careers. Balance is another important advantage for a hearing player on the field. If you would like to learn more about Deaf Football Australia, visit our website.
