The 13th annual #TotalAccess Week of Action is just around the corner, kicking off on 7 March 2025.

This marks our first Week of Action under the AccessibAll umbrella since rebranding from our former CAFE identity. It is more than just a name change, it is a renewed commitment to championing access, inclusion, and the invaluable roles that disabled people play across the beautiful game.

What is the #TotalAccess Week of Action?

The #TotalAccess Week of Action is the largest international campaign of its kind, dedicated to celebrating inclusion within football and beyond. It is a movement designed to ensure that disabled people are not just spectators, but active participants at every level of sport - from the grassroots to the boardroom, as players, coaches, volunteers, administrators, and decision-makers.

Why Does It Matter?

Because inclusion isn’t optional. It is essential.

Sport has the power to unite, inspire, and transform lives, but true unity only exists when everyone can take part. The Week of Action shines a spotlight on the achievements of disabled people, the barriers that still exist, and the collective actions we can take to create a world where #TotalAccess is the standard, not the exception.

This campaign belongs to you. It is for disabled fans, supporters' groups, clubs, leagues, and national associations. It is a unique opportunity to share positive stories of inclusion and show that access is more than a feature - it’s a right.

How Can You Join Us?

We invite everyone to get involved and make their voices heard. Whether you are a club, a fan, a player, or an organisation, there are countless ways to participate. Here are some ideas to inspire you:

 

• Welcome disabled fans onto the pitch pre-match to greet their heroes
• Host halftime ceremonies with AccessibAll banners (we can provide the artwork!)
• Use stadium LED boards to display #TotalAccess messages
• Interview disabled fans about their matchday experiences
• Support non-matchday gatherings for disabled supporters
• Establish a Disabled Supporters Association where one doesn’t exist
• Provide audio-descriptive commentary for blind and partially sighted fans
• Organise a disability football exhibition match or launch a new team
• Share statements of support from players, managers, and ambassadors
• Publish articles and social media posts tagged with #TotalAccess
• Provide sign language interpretations of club anthems
• Collaborate with disability football teams to share their stories
• Review stadium accessibility with expert advice to improve facilities
• Launch dedicated website sections for disabled fans, with detailed access information

Join the Movement

The message of #TotalAccess is spreading globally, with more disabled people enjoying live sport than ever before. But there is still work to be done.

Together, we can create unforgettable moments, break down barriers, and build a future where sport truly belongs to everyone.

 

The #TotalAccess Week of Action is a time to celebrate - to share positivity and reaffirm our commitment to a game that truly values everybody who wants to be involved. We have witnessed so many incredible activities over the years, helping to create memories that will last a lifetime for so many disabled people. We would encourage all like-minded partners and friends, who share our belief in the importance of access and inclusion, to join us in one unified voice in celebrating many of the game's most passionate, loyal and dedicated people during the #TotalAccess Week of Action.
