UMOYA Sports : Play Beyond Barriers Umoya Sports champions the attitude by bringing sports in lives of children with disabilities and promote inclusion through sports

Umoya, derives its meaning from the African language Zulu which translates to “Spirit”. Umoya Sports is a non-profit organization aiming to build an inclusive society by bringing people with disabilities and able bodied individuals together through sports. We inspire to create equal opportunities for all and use sports as a platform to develop life skills and healthy habits among people with disabilities that will help them socially. We hope to build friendships by enabling people with Disability and able bodied individuals to participate in sports together – bond over common love; understand and appreciate other’s problems, perspectives. We believe such levelled platforms will build empathy and awareness about people with disability, thereby bringing a change in the society and encourage inclusion.

Historic Moment for Team India! 🇮🇳

We are proud to announce that Wheelchair Ultimate Team India will be representing our nation at the World Wheelchair Ultimate Championship (WWUC) 2025 in Lithuania! 🌍

The stage is set and so is Team India! 🇮🇳

This historic landmark debut not only puts India on the global map of adaptive sports but also marks the beginning of a larger movement to expand access to wheelchair ultimate at the grassroots level.

We are rallying to build the para-sports movement in India, where grit, resilience, and dreams come alive.

For all of us, this is the realization of a dream to play under the Indian flag — a symbol of pride, identity, and the limitless spirit of sport and the vision of putting Indian Ultimate and para-sports on the world map.

For years, our athletes have pushed limits, juggled personal commitments, trained with full passion, and now with every pass, every throw, and every goal, our athletes are shaping history and showing the world what it truly means to rise against odds and carry that dream to the global stage 💪

We are profoundly grateful to our partners and supporters who have stood by us from the very beginning — when this was just an idea. Their unwavering belief in our vision, building an equitable world through inclusive sport and in our athletes has transformed that vision into this historic reality.

Join us in celebrating the grit of para-athletes, the power of sport to inspire change, and the Indian tricolor with pride.

Wish us and our team, All the very Best!

Stay tuned for more updates!

CHAMPIONS of the Gothia Special Olympics Trophy 2025!

(Gothia Cup – The World Youth Cup | Sweden)

Many congratulations to Team India for their incredible victory at the Gothia Special Olympics Trophy 2025.

This win is a proud moment for the entire country—but especially for us at Umoya Sports.

Leading the team to glory was none other than Yogesh Kumar, Captain of Team India and a dedicated Fellow of our flagship program, The Second Innings.

Yogesh didn’t just wear the captain’s armband—he led with heart, strength, and purpose, scoring a crucial goal in the final and inspiring the squad with his resilience and vision.

His journey from being an athlete to becoming a true leader is what The Second Innings is all about: empowering sportspersons with disabilities to rise, lead, and transform.
With the unwavering support of Special Olympics Bharat, SKF India, our champions showed the world what inclusion truly looks like—where ability, teamwork, and determination know no boundaries.

This isn’t just a trophy. It’s a message to every young athlete with a dream: You belong. You can lead. You can win.

Here's to Captain Yogesh Kumar, the entire Team India, and the growing movement of inclusive sports!

We are beyond proud. We are inspired. We are just getting started.

As part of our Career Incubator program, The Second Innings, our fellows received a powerful gift: GRIT, a book authored by our advisor and mentor, Ferose VR.

This inspiring autobiography tells the story of Vishwas KS, a para-athlete whose journey of resilience and self-belief will ignite a spark within our Umoya Fellows, encouraging them to believe in their own strength, their own stories, and their potential to overcome.

Story of Vishwas helped our fellows to reflect on their own life journeys, to learn from Vishwas’s path and his challenges, and to set bold goals for themselves. 💪💫

Thank you, Ferose, for sharing your wisdom, your support, and a story that will deeply resonate and inspire transformation in our fellows.

Introducing the Founding Batch of The Second Innings! 🌟

A new chapter begins! 🚀

We’re thrilled to welcome the founding cohort of fellows for The Second Innings – a bold step towards building a dignified career and livelihood for persons with disability as leaders by leveraging the power of sports.

These exceptional individuals are not just participants — they are future changemakers, coaches, and leaders in the movement to build inclusive and adapted sports for all. 💪🏽

Over the next few months, they will embark on a transformational journey — blending hands-on experience, practical training, and purpose-driven mentorship — to become voices and forces in creating equitable spaces for children and persons with disabilities to play, compete, and lead.

This is not just a program.
This is a movement.
This is The Second Innings. 🔥

Stay tuned as we share their stories, milestones, and the ripple effect they create. 💫
