To gain a wider understanding of the experiences of disabled football fans across Europe, AccessibAll and UEFA are pleased to announce the launch of its largest European-wide research project to date.

We believe that attending live sporting matches provides experiences that can have a life-changing impact, and everyone should have equal access to those moments. Our vision is a world where disabled people are a key part of the global sporting landscape, as fans, employees, volunteers and leaders, so that everyone has equal opportunities to contribute in an accessible, inclusive and welcoming environment.

Working in collaboration with our partners, UEFA, we are inviting differently disabled people from across Europe to participate in this biggest research project of its kind.

Take part in the European Disabled Fans Survey 2025 online.

If you are unable to complete the online version of the survey, you can also download a Word document version and submit your responses to AccessibAll via email.

We are particularly keen to hear from match-going disabled fans to further understand your experiences when visiting stadiums throughout Europe.

We also encourage disabled people who wish to become match-going supporters to share their stories and experiences, and the existing barriers which may currently prevent you from being able to attend live matches.

AccessibAll is welcoming responses from differently disabled people from across the continent, which will provide us with a detailed overview of situations faced by disabled supporters and help to inform future works and projects.

Speaking on the launch of the European Disabled Fans Survey, AccessibAll Operations Manager Michael Rice said, “More disabled fans than ever before are now able to take their rightful places in stadiums across Europe and enjoying an inclusive matchday experience alongside their fellow supporters. It is absolutely vital that disabled fans’ voices are heard, to have influence in the game that we all love. We encourage all disabled fans to have their say and help to shape the future of accessible stadiums”.

The European Disabled Fans Survey 2025 consists of seven sections and should take approximately 20 minutes to complete.

The survey language is English; however, most internet browsers will be able to translate the questions automatically into your chosen language (see below). Please feel free to complete the survey in your preferred language.

If you have any questions, need support in completing the survey, or want to request an alternative format of the survey, please email AccessibAll’s Fan Liaison, Access and Administration Officer, Amy Wilson, at [email protected], or telephone on +44 (0) 203 355 9867.

The survey will be open until midnight on 31 May 2025, and a detailed report on the findings will be published later in the year.

AccessibAll and UEFA would like to thank you in advance for sharing your experiences and taking part in our European Disabled Fans research project.
