Company activities and impact

Global Accessibility Associates CIC, trades under the EU registered brand of Estadio Accessible. Global Accessibility Associates CIC is an independent and innovative company ahead of trends making sure football clubs understand why accessibility is important. These had led to clubs in England & Wales: 1) designing services targeting the ageing population of football fans that are part of the silver economy; 2) adopting digital transformation to allow the ageing population to access their clubs digitally via their accessible website or social media channels; 3) advising clubs on the impact on disabled football fans during the pandemic in terms of mental health and restrictions due to their vulnerability to Covid-19 or long-term Covid-19; and4) engaging local communities. Global Accessibility Associates CIC is led by three Directors, two of them with a disability. Our extended team also includes leading academics and practitioners including Disability Liaison Officers (DLOs) and leading executives of Disabled Fans Associations. These has led us to provide education and support to Disability Liaison Officers of English and European football clubs. By providing continuous education and support to DLOs, we have supported their communities where football fans had a direct contact person in each football club as well as support to purchase tickets or attend away games.

Consultation with stakeholders

Global Accessibility Associates CIC has conducted two different types of consultations, and are both UK and Europe wide activities:1) As part of our consultation with disabled fans in England and Europe, we proactively asked fans during our season wide trips to football games and have received a lot of negative feedback about the experience by many disabled football fans that are not being listened to by their football clubs. To improve this issue, we work directly with Premier League football clubs, their Disabled Fans Associations as well as CAFE (Centre for Access to Football in Europe), UEFA and FIFA, to ensure fans’ issues are heard and considered at all levels.2) As part of our consultation with architecture firms, we have gathered valuable feedback from leading architects about their experience with accessibility requirements in football stadiums, specific legislation in England & Wales, and case studies. Toimprove their work and impact on the design of football stadiums, we have offered our services to these leading architecture firms to make sure every type of disability, health condition, reduced mobility or need from local football fans is considered when designing public-private stadiums.
