And not just anywhere, but in the "Vladimir Central" (FPS №2 Vladimir region).
The match is carried out in two periods of 25 minutes, with substitutions during the game. Team on the field five people: four players and a goalkeeper. Form ordinary, except for one detail - blindfold. In fact, there is not only a bandage - before the game starts all eyes glued special stickers to all players with varying degrees of blindness put on an equal footing.

In addition to the players in the game and take part in the so-called coach "Guide" - usually he is behind the opponent's goal and "suggests" players of his team at the target, directs their actions. Helps players and a goalkeeper - he sighted or visually impaired regulations.
Judged match two judges (yesterday was on the field and our Spanish). They watch the game, players are fined "fouls" and help them in the game, there are occasions when the ball stops and the players lose it. The judge then runs up to him and begins to tap sole of the shoe on the ball so that it "heard».
Along the field installed soft bumpers - they play the role of stopper space, help the players dribble, there arise the most active confrontation.
There are almost no perepasovki, long passes, Tackle. Players use personal skill in dribbling, driving the ball across the field short strikes, constantly monitoring and trying to focus on the field, following the coach and the "guide". The most amazing thing when a player scores a blind sighted goalkeeper. How should you feel the space to strike the right you invisible ball and get to the gate invisible - the mind boggles.

Football for the blind sound picture is similar to tennis - there is also a tribune during the game are silent, and the players - no. According to the rules of football spectators should observe complete silence, and the players comment on their actions, let you know the opponent and his comrades about his whereabouts.

The difference in the classroom, of course, is very noticeable. Spaniards are playing so that is sometimes overlooked, is in the field, it seems that they see the field. However, the team of Greece, where they play solid build guys aged successfully fought with fast, brisk Spaniards and even scored their one goal.
It is necessary to stop the ball and stop "sound" as they lose it, helplessly looking around and trying to find an opponent hands.
Once during the period, you can take a minute timeout.
