Summary


Great Britain's blind football team qualified for the Paralympics after [Ajmal Ahmed] captained them to the final of the European Championships in Greece last year. They picked up a silver medal after losing 5-0 to defending champions Spain.

"You have to be good to qualify and compete here and on our day, we can beat any team," said Ahmed. "If we play to our ability, there is every chance that we could walk away with a medal. We have played in various European championships but the Paralympics is a first for all of us."

[Hussain] added: "The Paralympics is the biggest achievement in this sport. It's a really big honour and I'm very proud. It's a dream come true."
