Goalball pits two teams of three visually impaired athletes against each other on an 18m x 9m court, with the objective of rolling a ball containing internal bells into the opponent's goal while defending their own. Tactile markings assist players in orienting themselves, and the ball must bounce once in the thrower's area to count as a shot. The game unfolds in two 12-minute halves and competition follows a traditional tournament format, a preliminary round followed by direct elimination.
