Soccer for the Blind

Soccer for the blind, also known as blind football, is a modified version of soccer designed for athletes with visual impairments. Teams consist of visually impaired players who wear eye masks to ensure a level playing field. The game is played on a smaller pitch, and the ball contains a bell to help players locate it by sound. Players also rely on verbal cues from teammates and guides, who may be sighted. The sport emphasizes inclusion, teamwork, and skill, providing athletes the opportunity to compete at various levels, including international competitions like the Paralympics.
