Blind football at the Paralympics highlights the incredible coordination and teamwork required, featuring teams of five players utilizing blindfolds for a level playing field.
Brazil has dominated blind football since its introduction in 2004, winning gold at every Paralympic Games, with teams like Argentina and France seeking to challenge this supremacy.
The sport emphasizes auditory cues; the ball contains a bell, requiring silence from the crowd to help players locate it, underlining the unique nature of the game.
Each match lasts 40 minutes, divided into two halves, and players must shout 'voy' when tackling, reflecting both the sport's origins and safety regulations.
