Why do players jump on the playing field with their eyes blindfolded?

Mexico City /

the MX League has been implemented during the protocol prior to each start of the matches of the Day 14 of the Guard1anes 2021, An awareness campaign, this time about people with visual impairment.

In the ceremony prior to each match it was possible to see the 22 players jump on the playing field with his eyes covered, holding hands in line, except the captains, who were the only ones who did not wear blindfolds, this to direct the rest of his teammates to the center of the field.

The bandages they used were in black and white and were worn during the anthem of the MX League until the refereeing body carries the ball with which it will be played.

The party where this tribute was seen for the first time was in Aguascalientes, al Necaxa vs Pumes, Where the cats drew a positive score of 0-1.

Later in the Juárez vs San Luis the dose was repeated and so it will be in the rest of the matches that will be played on Day 14.
