Blind Football (Soccer)
Blind Football is a dynamic team sport that consists of four outfield players and one goalkeeper. Matches are played on a 40m x 20m pitch bounded by boards on the sidelines. The ball is equipped with rattles to aid players in locating it by sound. Outfield players rely entirely on their sense of sound while the goalkeeper is sighted, or partially sighted, and provides crucial cues to teammates. Players communicate with each other and signal their actions audibly, with spectators maintaining silence to facilitate play.

Two players in yellow, green and black uniforms, wearing numbers 9 and 10, are interacting with two players in white uniforms with red socks, wearing numbers 10 and 11. The player in the white uniform with number 10 is dribbling a white and pink soccer ball. The background features a pink and purple banner along the edge of the field.](/content/dam/latwentyeight/paralympic-sports/mobile/PLYBlindSoccerMobile.jpg)
