And I wondered if we could start it in Uganda," Muzafaru tells CNN SportJagwe Muzafaru founded Blind Football Uganda after volunteering at the Uganda Paralympic Committee. Just a year after its formation, Blind Football Uganda now consists of four men's teams and two women's teams, containing mixed abilities and classifications. Blind Football Uganda organizes training as well as matches. In a 2014 study conducted by British Blind Sport , participants named competition, health benefits and social interaction as their primary motivations for playing blind football. "It helps them from being in a situation such as depression, being lonely, [or] limited when they join or they come and play football," Muzafaru adds.
