| Blind football players compete for the ball in a B1 game between South Chungcheong Province (blue) and North Gyeongsang Province (orange) during the 39th annual National Sports Festival for the Disabled at a stadium in Sangam-dong, Seoul, Thursday. The South Chungcheong Province team won 2-1. Athletes in the B1 classification are totally or almost totally blind. They play by relying on bell sounds from the ball and the voices of their coaches.
