We are proud to support this journey alongside our partners, the adidas Foundation and the South Sudan Association of Visually Impaired (SSAVI), using sport to promote inclusion across South Sudan.

This is a historic moment for a team competing in a sport that only arrived in South Sudan five years ago. Their success is a strong reminder of the power of inclusive sports.

Yona Sabri Ellon opened the scoring from the penalty spot (his fifth goal of the tournament) before captain Martin Ladu Paul added two more to seal the victory.

The team now advance to the Division 1 African Championship next year, the next step on the path to the Paralympics in 2028.

South Sudan’s national Blind Football Team have won the African Championship Division 2, defeating hosts Uganda 3–0 in the final! ⚽ #BlindFootball #UnitedBySport #SouthSudan

Congratulations to Team South Sudan for showing what inclusive sport can achieve, and best of luck for the final match!

On scoring South Sudan's first ever international goal in blind football, striker Yona Sabri said: “It shows the whole world that South Sudan does well at inclusive sports, where no one should be left behind because of disability.”

In their opening matches, the team delivered outstanding performances — winning 3–0 against Uganda and 2–0 against Zimbabwe. The victories mean South Sudan has earnt a place in the Division 1 African Championship, bringing them one step closer to the 2028 Paralympic Games in Los Angeles.
