Adapted soccer for visually impaired people has experienced significant growth since the 1980s, both internationally and nationally. Due to the nature of this sport, players receive auditory assistance to orient themselves on the field of play. The aim of the study is to develop sound devices to assist visually impaired people in their soccer training. Players will have a button in their hand that, when pressed, will activate speakers located in the goal, emitting a sound so that the player can identify the location of the three posts. The type of research is applied, longitudinal-exploratory with a qualitative approach. The evaluation of the device was carried out in two stages: first, individual tests with a representative from each team (Club Vulcano and ANVIZSUC), and then a demonstration match between both teams. Six athletes participated in the post-match survey. The data were analyzed and the result obtained was that the assistance devices increase the autonomy of visually impaired people in the practice of adapted soccer.
