Football 5-a-side at the 2012 Summer Paralympics[1] was held in London at the Riverbank Arena, from 31 August to 8 September. Football 5-a-side is played by athletes with visual impairment, with a ball with a noise making device inside.[2]
For these games, the men competed in an 8-team tournament. Brazil were the favorites since they won both in Athens 2004 and in Beijing 2008; they are also the defending world champions.[3]
