The French Blind Football Team has established itself in recent years as one of the leading nations in the sport.
Paralympic champions at the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games, the team relies on an experienced squad and a strong performance culture developed over time.

Regular contenders in major international competitions, France has won several European titles (3), earned a silver medal at London 2012, and consistently competes with top nations such as Brazil and Argentina.

Led by performance manager Charly Simo and head coach Toussaint Akpew, the team operates within a well-structured program, with high standards across technical and tactical execution, physical conditioning, and mental strength—essential in a discipline where everything relies on sound, spatial awareness, and collective trust.

The first appearance of the Greek National Blind Football Team took place in 1997 at the 1st European Championship in Spain, where the Greek team won the silver medal, paving the way for the establishment and development of the sport in the country, with continuous participation in top international competitions.

A highlight of these successes was their participation in the Athens 2004 Paralympic Games, where they finished in 4th place.

Most recently, at the European Championship in Pescara 2022, the Greek team secured 6th place.

The international journey of the Turkish National Blind Football Team began at the European Championship held in Greece in 2007. This tournament marked a significant milestone, providing the team with valuable international experience. Building on this foundation, the team qualified for the London 2012 Paralympic Games, establishing its place among the world’s top teams.

In 2013, the team secured its first major international medal by finishing third in Europe. This success was followed by an outstanding performance in 2015, when Türkiye became European Champions. Most recently, the team won the silver medal at the 2022 European Championship, once again demonstrating that it is among the leading teams in Europe.
