J-Arena S2018E19 - Blind Football

Blind football has fast grown to become one of the most popular Paralympic sports. The 5-a-side game for visually impaired players has featured at the Paralympics since 2004, but Japan's men's team have until now failed to even qualify for the Games. A new coach and revamped training methods have brought about a dramatic turnaround in fortunes, though, with Japan recently holding back the world's top 2 teams Brazil and Argentina in 0-0 matches. We follow the team as they gear up for Tokyo 2020.
