Blind soccer
Blind Football is variation of futsal designed for players who are blind or visually impaired. It is currently a Paralympic sport, and the International Blind Sports Association also organizes a World Championship.History
According to IBSA, "Football for the blind and partially sighted started out as a playground game for school children in special schools for the visually impaired."Rules
Generally speaking, the rules of blind football are very similar to the rules of futsal. There are, however, some important exceptions:
- All players, except for the goalkeeper, are blindfolded.
- The ball has been modified to make a jingling or rattling sound.
- Players are required to say "voy", "go", or something similar when going for the ball; this alerts the other players about their position.
- A guide, positioned outside the field of play, provides instructions to the players.
