S\u00e9 que muchas personas que descubren esta disciplina pueden sorprenderse y a veces fascinarse por el hecho de que los ciegos puedan jugar al f\u00fatbol.  Una de las cosas que m\u00e1s me fascina es ver c\u00f3mo el f\u00fatbol para ciegos utiliza los c\u00f3digos, las t\u00e9cnicas, las t\u00e1cticas o las actitudes del f\u00fatbol. Por poner un ejemplo, en muchos casos el estilo de juego de una selecci\u00f3n nacional de f\u00fatbol de ciegos es bastante similar al estilo de juego de la selecci\u00f3n nacional de f\u00fatbol de videntes del mismo pa\u00eds.<br\/>\n<br\/><strong>Para familiarizar a nuestras PUMA con las reglas del f\u00fatbol para ciegos, \u00bfpodr\u00eda explic\u00e1rnoslo un poco m\u00e1s?<\/strong><br\/>\n<br\/><strong>\u00bfPor qu\u00e9 un<\/strong><strong>todos los jugadores, excepto el portero, con los ojos vendados<\/strong><strong>?<\/strong><br\/>\n<br\/>En un equipo de f\u00fatbol de ciegos, hay cuatro jugadores de campo que tienen los ojos vendados aunque sean ciegos. El portero, sin embargo, no es ciego. La idea de tener a todos los jugadores ciegos con los ojos vendados es s\u00f3lo para asegurarse de que todos los jugadores de campo son completamente ciegos, y para garantizar que nadie tiene ventaja sobre los dem\u00e1s. El razonamiento es que incluso los jugadores con percepci\u00f3n reducida de la luz se clasifican como ciegos. Esta regla se ha establecido en aras del juego limpio. Adem\u00e1s, en las competiciones oficiales, los jugadores tambi\u00e9n deben llevar parches oculares.<br\/>\n<br\/><strong>\u00bfCu\u00e1nto dura un partido de f\u00fatbol a ciegas?<\/strong><br\/>\n<br\/>Un partido dura 40 minutos, dos tiempos de 20 minutos, especific\u00e1ndose que el tiempo se detiene cada vez que el bal\u00f3n sale del campo, o el \u00e1rbitro detiene el juego.<br\/>\n<\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"col articleText\">\n        <div ><br\/><strong>\u00bfC\u00f3mo localizas la pelota?<\/strong><br\/>\n<br\/>El bal\u00f3n contiene un sistema de sonido que emite un ruido casi continuo cuando se mueve. Con el sonido del bal\u00f3n, los jugadores pueden seguirlo y saber d\u00f3nde se encuentra en todo momento.<br\/>\n<br\/><strong>\u00bfC\u00f3mo sabes d\u00f3nde est\u00e1 el otro jugador?<\/strong><br\/>\n<br\/>Una de las reglas que se ha adaptado a las necesidades de las personas ciegas es una regla muy importante llamada regla VOY. La regla significa efectivamente que los jugadores que disputan el bal\u00f3n deben decir \u2018voy\u2019 para hacer saber a sus adversarios que van a hacerse con el bal\u00f3n, y esto les ayudar\u00e1 a estar preparados y a planificar su juego en consecuencia. Del mismo modo, si el bal\u00f3n est\u00e1 suelto y los jugadores lo buscan o van a controlarlo, tambi\u00e9n deben decir \u2018voy\u2019. Sin embargo, el jugador que corre con el bal\u00f3n no necesita decir nada.<br\/>\n<br\/><strong>\u00bfCon qu\u00e9 frecuencia entrena durante la semana?<\/strong><br\/>\n<br\/>Unas tres veces por semana.<br\/>\n<br\/><strong>\u00bfPuede recordar el momento clave en el que sinti\u00f3 por primera vez que hab\u00eda alcanzado el \u00e9xito?<\/strong><br\/>\n<br\/>Ganar la medalla de plata en los Juegos Paral\u00edmpicos de Londres es un momento que atesoro, adem\u00e1s del Campeonato de Europa que ganamos en 2009.

I know that many people who discover this discipline can be surprised and sometimes fascinated by the fact that blind people can play football. \u00a0One of the things that fascinates me the most is to see how blind football uses the codes, techniques, tactics or attitudes of football. To give an example, in many cases the style of play of a national blind football team is quite similar to the style of play of the national sighted football team of the same country.\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;To introduce our PUMAs to the rules of blind football, could you please explain a bit further for us:\\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;Why are a\\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;ll players, except for the goalkeeper, blindfolded\\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;?\\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;In a blind football team, there are four outfield players who are blindfolded though they are blind. The goalkeeper however is not blind. The idea of having all blind players blindfolded is just to make sure that all the outfield players are completely blind, and to ensure that no one has an advantage over the others. The reasoning is that even players with reduced light perception are classified as blind. This rule has been set in place in the interest of fair play. In addition, for official competitions, players must also wear eyepatches.\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;How long is a game of blind football?\\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;A game lasts 40 minutes, two halves of 20 minutes, being specified that the time is stopped each time the ball leaves the field, or the referee stops the game.\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\",\"contentRight\":\"\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;How do you locate the ball?\\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;The ball contains a sound system which makes an almost continuous noise when it moves.

Similarly, if the ball is loose and players are looking for it or going to control it, they must also say \u2018voy\u2019.

Blind football is a perfect illustration of this, because it requires continuous support and communication between teammates. Blind football is a way to fight prejudice, to flourish, to change mentalities and to prove that football is within everyone\u2019s reach. PUMA is proud to share and celebrate these values \u200b\u200bby supporting the National French Blind Football (C\u00e9cifoot) team.\n\u00a0\nThe French C\u00e9cifoot team has already performed well. With two European Championship titles, a silver medal in London in 2012 and at the 2011 World Cup, the French selection is one of the major international nations in the discipline. From August 24, French players will take up a new challenge at the next big event.
