Watching the etiquette
Watching futsal (blind) football is different from watching football. During the game, the audience should keep absolute silence. Since these athletes rely entirely on their hearing to complete the competition, keeping quiet during the competition is not only a sign of respect for the athletes, but also a condition for the smooth running of the competition.
In the game, a beautiful pass, a wonderful shot, the action can only be completed by a completely blind player, no sense of light, so the ball is often kicked in the game. If this happens, show them respect by not laughing or complaining.
So don't keep quiet when a goal is scored, and use your applause to cheer for the strong athletes in the Paralympic games!
