There has been a rapid development of Football 5-a-Side around the world. The first National Championships took place in Spain in 1986. Since then, the sport has expanded to many countries. The ATHENS 2004 Paralympic Games will constitute a landmark for Football 5-a-Side, since the sport will be included for the first time on the Paralympic competition programme.
