Scotland play their first World Cup match in 28 years on Sunday morning.

Haiti vs Scotland kicks off at 2am, and for many people it'll be worth setting an alarm for.

For people with sight loss, following live football can mean missing out on things most fans take for granted - the tension, the build-up, the moment before the goal.

This tournament is doing something about that.

FIFA has introduced audio-descriptive commentary for every match at the 2026 World Cup. It goes beyond standard radio commentary, describing body language, facial expressions, and the movement of the ball.

You can download the FIFA Audio Description app free on iPhone and Android. Search "FIFA Audio description" in your app store.

Nearly 200,000 people in Scotland are living with sight loss. If you know someone who'd benefit from this, please share it with them before Sunday.

At Hearing Products International Ltd, we believe in keeping our products as simple and user-friendly as possible. With over 34 years of experience, we understand that technology can be incredibly helpful in everyday life. However, we also recognise that it can sometimes feel overwhelming and complicated, particularly for older generations.

That is why all of our products are designed to work without Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or smartphone connectivity. There is no need to worry about connecting devices to internet, updating apps, downloading complex software, creating online accounts, remembering logins and passwords or worrying about your privacy. Echo® products are designed to be there for you when you need it the most - simple.

A great example is our EchoChime300 Doorbell System, which is completely plug-and-play. Simply insert the batteries, attach the doorbell push button to your door frame, place the chime unit in a convenient location, and it is ready to use.

To learn more about our easy-to-use range of Echo® products, please visit our website at www.hear4you.com or call us on 0161 480 8003. Our team will be happy to help.
