About John Mulhren

John Mulhern, a former USA Paralympic goalball athlete and six-time National Champion, founded Goalball Scoreboard. Competing in the 2000 Sydney and 2004 Athens Paralympic Games, John realized the need for a dedicated platform to provide comprehensive information about goalball. Leveraging his expertise in web development and accessibility, John created Goalball Scoreboard to enhance the visibility of the sport. 

Goalball Scoreboard was created to bridge the gap in coverage for goalball, a unique Paralympic sport. This platform provides real-time updates on schedules, scores, and standings for goalball tournaments worldwide, catering to fans who cannot attend in person but wish to stay informed about their favorite teams and players.

Launched in 2008, Goalball Scoreboard quickly became a trusted source for goalball enthusiasts. The platform not only provides real-time scores and standings but also offers resources for finding goalball-related websites, social media channels, and local teams. By including official rules from the International Blind Sports Federation (IBSA), Goalball Scoreboard ensures that fans have access to accurate and reliable information.

Now goalball scoreboard was re-created after John passed away in 2024 and continues to operate in his honor now known as Goalball Central- For John.
