Abstract: Research on performance indicators in 5-a-side football for the visually impaired is in its infancy, in spite of it being one of the most popular sports for people with this disability. The purpose of this study was to analyse the shots on goal performed in the Blind Football World Championship in 2014. All the matches were analysed, and the sample consisted of a total of 1497 shots on goal. The IOLF5C tool was used to analyse the efficacy of the shot on goal. Thirteen variables were used to define each shot on goal. First, a descriptive study was performed and subsequently the relations among the variables and shot on goal efficacy were analysed. Finally, the most effective shot on goal was defined. Significant associations were identified among the variables defining the shot and its final efficacy. These results make it possible to characterise the shot on goal in this sports modality. The associations that have been identified serve as a basis for establishing training objectives, as well as strategies, which favour more effective shot on goal.
