Rules of
The Game
Blind football follows many FIFA laws, but specific adaptations ensure safety and competitiveness for visually impaired athletes.
The Players
Each team has 4 outfield players (B1 classification) and 1 sighted goalkeeper. The ball contains ball bearings that make noise, and players shout "voy" when moving to avoid collisions.
Audible Ball
Filled with ball bearings, the ball rattles in motion, allowing players to track its position by sound.
Silence Please
The crowd must remain completely silent so players can hear the ball and guides. Cheer only for goals!
The 'VOY' Rule
Defenders MUST shout 'VOY' (I go) when moving toward the attacker to prevent head-on collisions.
The 'Eyes'
Two sighted guides—the goalkeeper and a head guide behind the opponent's goal—shout instructions.
Match Duration
Two halves of 15-20 minutes. The clock stops whenever the ball is out of play or for fouls.
Why the Boards?
The pitch is surrounded by 1-meter high kickboards. These keep the ball in play (no throw-ins!) and allow players to navigate the field using high-impact acoustic localization—bouncing passes to themselves and feeling their position relative to the boundaries.
