A team of volunteers will make their debuts as audio commentators at the FIFA Women’s World Cup, enabling blind and partially-sighted fans the chance to enjoy the tournament.

“Our job as audio descriptor commentators is to allow people who have sight impairments, or are partially blind or fully blind to be able to see the game through their ears,” he said.
