The 5-a-side football for the blind has rattles inside so that athletes can identify it acoustically. The side lines of the playing surface must be formed by fences to make the game more fluid.
Elio Volta of Giocampus: “This is the first step for a collaboration between our reality and the team of Crema. We want to give the blind children of Giocampus the opportunity to play football. At the end of July two technicians from Crema will be here for a week from us for a basic training with our boys. For us it is a huge satisfaction “.
Cassioli: “I am passionate about football, every now and then I train with the champions from Crema. I do not manage badly but today, due to a back problem, I cannot take the field. After the match, I will support Italy, we hope that the Austria don’t make us suffer too much. “
