The campaign will run this year from Saturday 24 February to Sunday 10 March and aims to showcase the good work being done by clubs to improve accessibility and inclusion in sport. The theme of this year’s Unite For Access campaign will be focussing on “Hidden Disabilities”.
Level Playing Field is a sports charity that acts as a campaigning and advisory organisation for disabled sports fans. The charity offers a range of initiatives and services for disabled sports fans including:
Working alongside Cardiff City FC, the FAW are proud to offer several services at the Cymru national team matches to improve the experiences of its disabled supporters.
During Cymru fixtures, fans can access free audio descriptive commentary, where trained audio describers will keep up with play to the second to ensure listeners know exactly where the ball is and what is happening on the pitch.
Cymru fans can also book into the stadium’s sensory room, which has been designed to accommodate the needs of children and young people with additional sensory needs or sensitivities.
