The blind football venue is getting ready on the beach volleyball pitch less than two weeks before the start of the Paralympic Games.

The blind football players have to hear the sound of the ball, the players and their coaches, despite the pitch and the stadium's 11,000 or so spectators.

They will have communication from their speakers on the giant screens to say silence, plus their volunteers who will be able to educate people. I'm fairly confident that we'll keep quiet", head of blind football technical operations for Paris 2024 said.
