Football Tournaments of the Youth Parapan American Games


Youth Parapan American Games for athletes under 22 years old, with a disability were organized for the first time in Barquisimeto, Venezuela, in 2005.
The first football tournament was included in the II Youth Parapan American Games in Bogotá, Colombia, 2009.

Two different kinds of football games have been included up to now:

  • Five a side: Sport for blind and visually-impaired athletes. This is ruled by "International Blind Sport Federation" (IBSA) and it is played with modified futsal FIFA rules. Teams use one guide, who is positioned off the field, to assist players. The balls have a noise-making device which allows players to locate it by sound. Matches consist of two 25-minute halves, with a ten-minute break at half-time.
  • Seven a side: This sport is an adaption of football association FIFA rules for athletes with cerebral palsy and other neurological disorders, including stroke and traumatic brain injury. The sport is ruled by "Cerebral Palsy International Sports and Recreation Association" (CP-ISRA). The field is lower than the football association one. No offside rule is included. There is permission for one-handed throw-ins. Matches consist of two thirty-minute halves, with a fifteen-minute half-time break.
