Hicham Lamlas of Team Morocco collides with Maximiliano Espinillo of Team Argentina during a men’s preliminary group B blind football match on day four of the Paris 2024 Summer Paralympic Games at Eiffel Tower Stadium. Blind football is played between two teams of five, made up of four vision-impaired outfield players wearing blindfolds and a goalkeeper who is sighted or partially sighted. Players keep track of the ball by listening for a bell inside and pay attention to strategic cues shouted by their goalkeeper. Even with the amazing spatial awareness on display, not every collision can be avoided.
