The Tokyo Paralympic and Blind Soccer qualifying leagues began on the 29th.
In blind soccer played by five players, all four players, excluding the goalkeeper, are visually impaired players, wear eye masks, and aim for the goal by relying on the ball that makes a sound when rolling and the voice of the guide.
Japan, who participated for the first time, defeated France 4-0 in the first match.
On the 30th, Japan will face Brazil, which has won the gold medal in four consecutive tournaments and is ranked second in the world.
