The ball, equipped with internal sound devices and a low-bounce bladder, enables players to navigate the game using auditory cues, transforming accessibility and performance for blind footballers across the country.

Founded in 2016, IBFF is the national governing body for blind football, operating under the Paralympic Committee of India. It has been instrumental in nurturing talent across 24 states and elevating India's presence in international tournaments.

Sunil Mathew, Director of IBFF, said: "Blind football is not just a sport -- it's a movement. With Vector X, we have a partner who not only supports our athletes but also innovates for them."

Baljinder Pal Singh, Head of marketing, Vector X shared: "every athlete deserves gear that empowers, inspires, and performs. Vector X Sound ball enables athletes to play by sound, transforming the pitch into a symphony of skill, courage, and precision"

A Shared Vision: Sport Without Limits

Together, Vector X and IBFF are rewriting the rules -- proving that inclusion is not a feature, it's the future. This partnership is a rallying cry to brands, federations, and fans: the beautiful game belongs to everyone.

While this partnership is commendable, I hope Vector X ensures the kits are truly functional for blind athletes. Sometimes brands focus more on marketing than actual accessibility. Hope they've consulted extensively with the players themselves.
