AS Roma celebrates National Braille Day with Kristensen, Sonstevold, and the AS Roma Blind Football Academy

The event, held at the Paralympic Committee in Via delle Tre Fontane, was organised to highlight the importance of the braille alphabet not only as a means of communication but also as a fundamental tool for inclusion and integration. This tool, which can be supported but not replaced by technology, helps blind and partially sighted people to achieve social and professional self-sufficiency.

Blind footballers from the AS Roma Academy invited Kristensen and Sonstevold to type their own names on a tablet printing plate and a braille typewriter.

Also, there was a training session with both the blind footballers and players from the U13s AS Roma academy. Kristensen and Sonstevold then got a taste of blind football by taking a penalty blindfolded.
