Images of blind and visually impaired supporters using the devices at Africa Cup games were widely shared on social media. “As an initiative to show that blind and visually impaired people can watch soccer games, it’s a positive step. “I felt like I could see the ball,” El Hachimi told the AP. “This final, with the national team playing, should have included better representation of blind fans,” El Hachimi said.
