Blind football is a five-aside game played on an enclosed pitch in which an audible football is used. All players wear eyeshades. The goalkeeper is sighted so is able to give verbal cues to the players together with one coach who is positioned on the halfway line and another behind the attacking goal. There is no offside rule and the players have to say ‘Voy’ before they attempt to tackle an opponent.
