Welcome to the Kent Disability Football League
– an award winning inclusive football league in Kent
The League consists of 15 different clubs based across Kent and South-East London split across ten divisions catering for all ages from 8 years old to adults and including both males and females.
There are over 60 small sided teams regularly taking part in the League making it the one of the largest County Disability Leagues in the country.
The adult divisions are ability banded so players of all abilities can play at an appropriate level based on their skill level and impairment. The junior teams are age banded.
All the clubs meet once a month and play all the other teams in their division in a festival-like event.
About us
The Kent Disability Football League, or KDFL for short, goes all the way back to 2005.
The idea was to provide regular competitive playing opportunities for young players with a disability. Now we are an award winning league providing a safe and positive environment for children, teenagers and adults to play football.

Respect
We only do positive.
Creating the right environments for our players, both on and off the pitch is so important. Even though your role could be slightly different from someone else within your club or league, it’s important that we all play our part in creating a fun, safe and inclusive environment.
The Respect codes of conduct are in place to ensure that everyone involved within an England Football Accredited club or league is playing their part to give the players a positive experience.
