At the 2016 Summer Paralympics in Rio de Janeiro , medals were awarded in a five-a-side football competition. The decisions were made on September 17th, 2016 at the Olympic Tennis Center .

Classification

The International Paralympic Committee differentiates 5-a-side football in 3 classes - B1, B2 and B3. In each game two teams with 4 field players each, a goalkeeper and five substitutes play. Field players must be blind or have a visual impairment. Everyone wears a blindfold to ensure equal opportunities. The goalkeeper is allowed to see and does not wear a blindfold. Behind the opposing goal each team has a teammate who shouts to help them aim. The ball makes noises when it moves in order to better determine its position. Two halves of 25 minutes each are played. In the event of a tie, a penalty shoot-out follows.

qualification

There were eight men's teams, which were divided into 2 groups. Women's teams did not participate.

Each nation was allowed to send a team that consisted of eight field players and two goalkeepers - the goalkeepers did not count towards the permitted number of 64 athletes. However, like other able-bodied helpers, they were able to win medals.
