The image represents the official poster of the EGCA Odivelas Grand Prix. At the top, several photographs related to Goalball appear: one shows players in action on the court, another shows the event’s commentator, there is also a group of athletes in yellow uniforms standing side by side, and in another image, players dressed in black are on the floor defending the typical blue goalball. Among these photographs, there is a black eye mask, like the ones players use to cover their eyes during the game. In the upper right corner, a blue goalball with small holes and the event’s symbol stands out.

In the center, in large letters, it reads “Grand Prix Odivelas 2025.” Just below, it states that the event will take place from the 5th to the 7th of September, at Pavilhão Moinhos da Arroja, accompanied by the phrase “Don’t miss three thrilling days of Goalball action!”.

At the bottom of the poster, there is an old map where the city of Odivelas is highlighted with a circle. Next to it, there is a keychain shaped like an airplane, customized for the event, and two tickets designed to look like airline boarding passes, serving as entry tickets to the event, with the note “Free Entry.” Two logos also appear: one from Clube Atlético e Cultural and another from the European Goalball Clubs Association.

At the very bottom, there are logos of different sponsors and entities supporting the event.

The 2024/2025 season has officially come to a close with the conclusion of the Goalfix Cup last weekend 🏆.
A huge congratulations to Fen Tigers Goalball on being crowned the Goalfix Cup Champions 2025!👏🐯.

It was a challenging start to the weekend for Birmingham, with tough ganes against the London elephants and Fen Tigers. However, the team showed true grit and bounced back with a well-earned win over The Royal National College for the Blind (RNC) 💪.
Day two saw another strong performance with a victory against Phoenix Blaze 🔥, before falling just short in the bronze medal match against Northern allstars Goalball club, positioning 4th overall ⭐️.
From the very beginning of the season to the final whistle this past weekend, the growth and development from every player whether on court or off, has been incredible to witness. From the sidelines, the progress has been clear and inspiring 🙌

A heartfelt thank you to Emer, our head coach, for all your dedication this season. You’ve been amazing, continually developing your own understanding of the game while bringing the best out of the squad 🙏🎯

Huge thanks to Goalfix Sports LTD for all their support with Goalball here in the uk and being the sponsors for the goalfix cup. As always, thanks to Goalball UK for their continued support, not just with the Goalfix Cup, but throughout the entire season 👏

We’ll be back in action come September, and we can’t wait to see all the teams again! Until then, it’s time to rest, reflect, and refocus over the summer, working hard on improving our game ready for next season 💥🟡🔵

Last week, we were thrilled to announce that our Goalball broadcast had gone live on BBC Sounds which was a milestone for our club and more recognition for the sport. Today, we’re equally excited to share that the accompanying article is now available to read, and it features some very familiar faces from our recent training session.
A heartfelt thank you once again to BBC Birmingham for taking such a keen interest in the impact of Goalball.
Goalball is more than just a game, it’s a way of building connection, confidence and community. It beats isolation by offering a space where people can come together, support one another, and thrive through sport. That message comes through clearly in the article, and we’re so proud to see it shared with a wider audience.

This piece is a brilliant celebration of inclusive sport and the people who make it possible, from players and coaches to volunteers and supporters.

You can read the full article here: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/ckgrxpekjyko?fbclid=IwQ0xDSwKYPvBleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHoim7kNNA5rAFN8BftTga7nHrRR6FpsXht3o6KYBjM-uwGPKKpysW4rzMRLK_aem_-ASxVdA6I10q4ZNWY1MeFw.
Let’s keep spreading the word, the Goalball UK community brings people together and truly makes a difference 🔵

Goalball is played with a ball that contains a bell on a court about the size of a volleyball court.
