Article body
Guided by the Women's EURO 2025 Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) Strategy, we are working closely with host cities, venues and partners to make UEFA Women’s EURO 2025 fully accessible to everyone and create a diverse and inclusive environment that meets the needs of every fan.
We outline below various accessibility measures we are putting in place to welcome everyone.
Inclusive stadium experiences
Audio descriptive commentary
To enhance inclusivity, all 31 matches at Women’s EURO 2025 will feature audio-descriptive commentary, available in the local language: German will be provided in Basel, Bern, Lucerne, St. Gallen, Thun and Zurich. French will be provided in Sion and Geneva.
The web-based solution will be available through the official Women’s EURO app once the tournament starts, fostering a more immersive experience for blind and visually impaired fans. The service can also be accessed by fans at home and all over the world.
Wheelchair push service
A wheelchair push service will be offered for guests with limited mobility who did not come in their own wheelchair and need help accessing their seats after the security checks. A dedicated team of accessibility volunteers waits for you near the stadium entrances if the service is required.
Accessible concessions
Craving a snack but concerned about long lines? We've got you covered – with dedicated priority lanes near accessible seating areas at all eight stadiums, wheelchair users can enjoy quicker access to refreshments.
Sensory bags
A limited number of sensory bags equipped with noise-cancelling headphones, fidget toys and verbal cue cards will be available for fans at the stadium. If a sensory bag is required, you can ask one of the accessibility volunteers.
Tournament travel
On matchday, public transport will be the most convenient way to get around Switzerland and the host cities, and match tickets will be valid for a free second-class return journey on public transport from any Swiss locality to the match venue. Public transport is generally accessible for fans with limited mobility; bus and train carriage doors are wide enough for wheelchairs and are equipped with dedicated wheelchair spaces.
For an enhanced experience, transfer assistance can be booked in advance at main train stations. The SBB Inclusive app is designed to help blind and partially sighted travellers, as well as deaf and hard-of-hearing passengers. It provides location-specific information in all SBB long-distance trains and at all Swiss railway stations, and can be prominently displayed or read aloud on a smartphone.
SBB has a dedicated accessibility contact centre to support you with your planning, and can also organise assistance on boarding, transferring or getting off a train:
Phone from Switzerland: 0800 007 102 (free in Switzerland and open every day from 05:00 to midnight)
Phone from abroad: +41 800 007 102
Venue sustainability managers and sustainability volunteers
In each venue, there will be a dedicated venue sustainability manager whose tasks include to serve as disability access officer (DAO). The venue DAO will liaise with their counterparts of the participating teams to explain access procedures, parking points and accessibility seating areas in all venues to ensure they are fully familiar with accessibility procedures, offering team supporters the best possible experience.
In addition, we also count on the support of a dedicated team of accessibility volunteers at each venue to help with our accessibility services. They can be identified by their special bibs, which display an accessibility icon.
