Football 5-a-side at the 2012 Summer Paralympics was held in London at the Riverbank Arena, from 31 August to 8 September. Football 5-a-side is played by athletes with visual impairment, with a ball with a noise making device inside.
For these games, the men competed in an 8-team tournament. Brazil were the favourites since they had won both in Athens 2004 and in Beijing 2008; they were also the defending world champions.
Squads.
Each of the eight participating nations submitted a squad of ten men – eight blind or visually impaired players and two sighted goalkeepers. For the first time, the sighted players were awarded medals as part of their team.
