History

edit

The blind football has several major competitions. These include the IFCPF CP Football World Championships, former the CPISRA Football-7-a-Side World Championships. The first CPISRA World Championships took place in Denmark in 1982, four years after the first international competition for the sport took place in Scotland at the Cerebral Palsy International Games.

7-a-side football was also played at the Paralympic Games, making its debut at the 1984 Summer Paralympics.[14] It was dropped from the Paralympic program for the 2020 Summer Paralympics.
