The tournament was classified as a B1 event, meaning that it was for blind athletes.

Each team was also allowed to have a guide behind their opponents' goal to direct players.

The ball made a rattling sound when kicked, so fans were required to keep quiet during play.

The six teams started play a single round-robin tournament.
