Morocco’s blind football team has booked a place for the Rio 2016 Paralympic Games after beating Cameroon 2-0 at the finals of the African football championships for the visually impaired. It was an entertaining and fitting final between the two sides in Douala, playing in front of a packed but silent crowd.

North African defending champions Morocco’s double proved enough to hand the visitors a second title as well as the final slot to the blind football tournament at next year’s Paralympics.

As the tournament continues to grow, participants and coaches have called for more countries to participate.
