Sports and Activities for the Visually Impaired

FOOTBALL

Football for totally blind participants is played with an audible ball and a fully sighted goalkeeper.  Football for the partially sighted is played with a high visibility ball with a partially sighted goalkeeper.  Sides consist of five players.  This sport is recognised in the paralympics.  There is also a national league and SAVI already have established links with this.  Please see the video below of the IBSA World Football Championships Final 2010.
