Rules

Generally speaking, the rules of blind soccer are very similar to the rules of futsal. There are, however, some important exceptions:

• All players, except for the goalkeeper, are blindfolded.
• The ball has been modified to make a jingling or rattling sound; these custom-made balls are available on sites such as Amazon.
• Players are required to say "voy", "go", or something similar when going for the ball; this alerts the other players about their position.
• A guide, positioned outside the field of play, provides instructions to the players.
