Fútbol con contraste de colores: así funciona la norma de la FIFA para los daltónicos

The article discusses how the FIFA has implemented guidelines to improve visibility for people with color blindness during football matches. It highlights the issue of color contrast between team uniforms, particularly the difficulty in distinguishing red and green, which affects a significant portion of fans. The article references the controversial 2022 World Cup match between Switzerland and Cameroon, where the red and green jerseys caused confusion among colorblind viewers. As a result, FIFA now requires teams to submit at least two sets of kits before a World Cup, and evaluates color contrasts for optimal visibility. This change was formalized in the 2026 World Cup regulations, which prioritize dark and light color combinations to aid those with color vision deficiencies. Examples include Spain and Uruguay switching to their second kits in a group stage match, and Belgium and Senegal altering their usual colors to avoid problematic red-green contrasts.
