Goalball is played on a court using goals that are 9 metres wide. The aim of the game is to score as quickly as possible by throwing a ball adorned with bells. Each team has three players on the court who can use their entire bodies to stop the ball.  The Egyptian female goalball team was established in 2016. The group of visually impaired women meet weekly to practice. Esraa Waleed, a player on the team, describes goalball as a demanding yet rewarding sport.
