Colombian Man Uses Special Hand Gestures to Help Blind, Deaf Friend Experience Team Win

 

During the 2018 FIFA World Cup, Cesar Daza created special hand gestures to help his friend experience Colombia’s win over Poland.

Daza’s friend Jose Richard Gallego lost his hearing and vision when he was nine years old to a disease. Despite not being able to see, or hear any of the soccer matches, that didn’t stop him from continuing to support his country, especially during the World Cup.

In fact, thanks to his friend Daza, Gallego was able to follow every moment during the 2018 match between Colombia and Poland, where they beat the other team 3-0.

The hand gestures Daza came up with mimicked the players’ positions, by moving Gallego’s hands on a tiny football pitch in front of them. There were different gestures for red cards, throw-ins, corners, and penalties too.
