HANDI LIFE SPORT Blue Flame football for the blind

The Blue Fire blind football from Handi Life Sport is the official competition ball for blind football. It complies with IBSA standards and is made of high-gloss PU material. Thanks to the structured surface, the blind football has optimal ball control. The 6 integrated sound devices produce rattling noises through which the players can locate the ball. In addition, the devices reduce the speed of the ball. Another advantage of the ball is its reduced bounce and low rebound. Blind football is suitable for junior, women's and men's levels of play from the age of 14.

How is blind football played?
A team in blind football is made up of 4 blind or visually impaired field players and a sighted goalkeeper. Blind football is played according to the sense of hearing and orientation. Therefore, the balls used have built-in rattles or loud bells. Footballs for the blind have a reduced bounce and an increased dead weight so that the ball cannot bounce away uncontrollably and remains close to the players. The field players are guided by instructions from the coach, goalkeeper and a guide. All players approaching a player with the ball must shout "Voy" (I'm coming). A game lasts 2 x 25 minutes with a 10-minute half-time break. In addition, each team may take one time-out per half.
