Sport classes

Only athletes who have a B1 sport class as described here may compete in football five-a-side. To ensure fair competition all players (except for the goalkeeper) must wear eyeshades. This classification applies to the visually impaired field players. In addition, each team has a sighted, able-bodied goalkeeper, who does not need to undergo classification.
