Annie Wickett to tackle the International Federation of Cerebral Palsy Football (IFCPF) Championships
Gate 7 is thrilled to be supporting our very own U.S. based Production Planner, Annie Wickett, as she brings her A-game in Salou, Spain at the International Federation of Cerebral Palsy Football (IFCPF) Championships from 11th-20th November.
Representing the United States of America in the upcoming IFCPF championships, Annie and the U.S. Women’s CP National Team will be aiming for gold in the competition later this month.
A keen athlete, Annie was making amazing progress as a professional football player in the Champions League in Romania before suffering a stroke. This unfortunately ended her career with the Champions League, however, Annie’s passion for the sport continued, leading to a successful career as part of a national paralympic team!
Annie joined the U.S. Women’s CP National Team, for eligible qualifying players with Cerebral Palsy, stroke or traumatic brain injury, when it was founded in 2022, leading the team to victory as captain in the first ever IFCPF Women’s World Cup.
