The visually impaired will be able to enjoy the next two Spain matches from Pontevedra and Malaga

For the next two matches, the RFEF will once again make use of the descriptive narration system that has been successfully employed for almost a year and a half now.

On 1 and 5 December, Spain will face Italy in Pontevedra and Sweden in Malaga. These matches will once again use the special narration system designed specifically for the visually impaired.

The descriptive narration is designed to make it easier for visually impaired people to follow the matches, both inside the stadium and from anywhere in the world. It is therefore ideal for those attending Pasarón and La Rosaleda in the coming days and for the visually impaired who want to follow the action from both matches minute-by-minute.

The system consists of providing a detailed narration of the matches through an app, which offers broadcasts without advertising, additional commentary or distractions, focusing exclusively on the description of the game. To access this narration, interested persons must download an app called "RFEF Narration for the Blind".

This system has already become a consistently used and indispensable aide in the Spanish national football team games since its premiere on 25 March 2022 - which also happened to be at the at La Rosaleda in Malaga -. The first match between two women's national teams to be broadcast via the app was the match between Spain and Switzerland at El Arcángel in Córdoba on 26 September.

On this occasion, the matches take place this Friday, 1 December, at 21:30 (Spain-Italy, Pasarón Stadium, Pontevedra); and next Tuesday, 5 December, from 19:00 (Spain-Sweden, La Rosaleda, Málaga).
