Students who are blind or vision impaired at the University of Cadi Ayyad in Marrakech were introduced to blind tennis as part of an introductory session organized by the regional university sports program for the 2024-25 school year.

Mr Takei Miyoshi invented Blind Tennis in Japan in 1984. He was a pioneer in a new racket sport and a role model to the visually impaired. He was born in 1968 and lost his eyesight at the age of one and a half. When he was 16, as a high school student, he dreamed of playing tennis with the able-bodied and created tennis for the blind.
