As Limb Loss and Limb Difference Awareness Month begins this April, New England Revolution defender Will Sands has been named the club's new ambassador of the New England Amputee Soccer Association (NEASA). Sands will attend the Revolution Amputee Soccer Team's training session on Tuesday, April 15, at Legion Memorial Field in Weymouth, Mass. (Commercial St. & Middle St., 02189) ahead of the team’s second annual, full-length exhibition match at Gillette Stadium on Saturday, April 19. Following the New England Revolution’s Major League Soccer contest against New York City FC at 7:30 p.m., the Revolution Amputee Soccer Team will take the pitch to face the Metro NY Amputee Soccer Team.

Sands, 24, is now in his second season with New England and his fourth MLS campaign overall. He and his twin brother, James, have long been supporters of the American Amputee Soccer Association (AASA) and the Bionic Project, a non-profit organization founded in 2018 that aims to dismantle disability bias through education, story, and sport, fostering empathy and connection for people of all abilities.
