In the past, blind and visually impaired football fans had to stream games from TV or radio and listen to a time-delayed version of the match. 
The introduction of audio-descriptive commentary (ADC) service, however, gives them the opportunity to enjoy the experience independently and immerse themselves in the exciting atmosphere of the stadium. 

This webinar will bring together a panel of contributors who will share with us their views on the subject, drawing on first-hand experiences of a commentator and a fan who used this service. The discussion will also highlight the differences between audio-descriptive commentary and regular football commentary.
