It is not only in football that Brazil wants to conquer the world in 2026. This Saturday (13), the men's goalball team - a sport played by visually impaired athletes - qualified for the semi-finals of the Hanghzou World Championship (China). The Brazilians beat Ukraine 7-1 and face the home team this Sunday, at 4am (Brasília time). The International Federation of Sports for the Blind (IBSA) YouTube channel broadcasts live.

Everyone wears blindfolds, to prevent those with low vision from having an advantage over those who are completely blind. The ball has a bell, which allows players to hear where it is so they can defend shots. There are two halves of 12 minutes, but it ends sooner if one of the teams opens up a ten goal difference. The Brazilian victory had goals from André (three), Leomon (two), Parazinho and Paulo. The triumph tasted like revenge. The four top scorers were part of the bronze medalist team at the Paralympics in Paris (France), in 2024, beaten by Ukraine itself in the semifinals. Current three-time world champion, Brazil is the country with the most titles in the competition among men. If they beat China in the repeat of the last final and qualify for the final, the team will already guarantee a place for the Games in Los Angeles (United States), in 2028, to seek the second Paralympic gold in history. The first came in Tokyo (Japan), in 2021. Brazil was also represented in the quarterfinals of the women's World Cup, which takes place simultaneously with the men's in Hanghzou. The green and yellow team did not resist Turkey, the current champion, but can still seek a Paralympic spot at the Parapan American Games in Lima (Peru), in 2027. After an exciting 4-4 draw in normal time, with Victória Amorim (two), Jéssica and Moniza scoring the Brazilian goals, the decision to qualify for the semi-final went to penalties - in goalball, the athlete from one team shoots and the athlete from the other team tries to defend alone. The Turks, Paralympic champions in Paris, scored 3-2 and came out on top.
