In 2022, blind football is highlighted on the coins. This Paralympic discipline is the adaptation of football for persons with visual disabilities. The players compete within teams of five (four visually impaired players and a goalkeeper). Players wear a classical football outfit, and depending on their category, a blindfold. The ball is different : it has spherical shape and a sound system.
The reverse side of the series shows a view of Paris where the Seine looks like an athletics track. The Eiffel Tower dominates the city and illuminates the competition.
