Every Saturday morning, a group of disabled young men gather on a dusty dirt field in Accra, Ghana's capital. Many of them have lost a leg or an arm to polio or road accidents, others suffer various physical disabilities.

The group trains hard, with a level of skill and commitment that never fails to impress able-bodied onlookers and the teams the group occasionally matches up against. The young men have a dream: to one day represent their country in international competitions.

Their passion is fueled by Ghana's recent performance during the FIFA World Cup, but for many team members, even affording transportation costs to make it to training every week is a real problem. Most Ghanaians look down on people with disabilities and the vast majority of them have no choice but to beg or sell small items on the street to make a living.
