In the Champions League final assessment, UEFA treats disabled fans as a "afterthought."
According to a disability access charity, disabled supporters are still "an afterthought" for UEFA.
According to Level Playing Field, the voice of impaired football fans attending the Champions League final on May 28 in Paris is not represented on the review panel. The group was formed last week by the regulatory body to assess the fan experience during the dismal encounter between Liverpool FC and Real Madrid.
Regarding the actions of French police before and after the match, UEFA and French authorities faced harsh criticism. While trying to enter the stadium, defenseless spectators were ambushed by local gangs and robbed in Saint Denis.
Level Playing Field (LPF) expressed concerns that the evaluation does not sufficiently address issues pertinent to fans who are disabled in a public statement. LPF has previously drawn attention to how business visitors take use of wheelchair user areas at Stade de France.
Ted Morris, the head of the Liverpool Disabled Supporters Association, previously spoke to the ECHO about how disabled spectators were treated during the game. In order to draw attention to the "traumatic" events, Mr. Morris testified before the French Senate alongside Spirit of Shankly chair Joe Blott.
Mr. Morris compiled a list of the hardships faced by disabled fans, including the tear gassing of disabled children, the crowd-surfing of a wheelchair user to safety over a fence, the separation of a blind fan from their carer, the dislocation of a disabled woman's shoulder, and a "grotesque" attack on a disabled woman as she left the stadium.
According to LPF, it complained to UEFA on June 1 about the maltreatment of disabled fans who were "petrified and scared for their own wellness and safety while being corralled in a dangerous manner." LPF alleged that UEFA failed to address the initial issues and has since disregarded the experiences of disabled supporters while dealing with the review panel.
According to the LPF announcement, "UEFA and Dr. (Tiago Brandao) Rodrigues announced his panel and the list of specialists that he and the panel will be speaking to on Friday, 1 July 2022. Once more, it appears that people with disabilities have been ignored or, at worst, forgotten. Unfortunately, we believe that the phrase "unless you are a disabled fan" should have been added to UEFA's #EqualGame campaign, which was once again proudly displayed.
"Sports fans with disabilities are sick and weary of having their matchday experience treated as an afterthought and poorly undervalued. Everyone enjoys watching football, therefore there should be clear rules in place to discourage prejudice and promote inclusivity. Unfortunately, LPF is aware that, as it did at the Champions League final, handicap prejudice occurs frequently.
As stated by Level Playing Field, "Governments, governing bodies, clubs, and other stakeholders can no longer merely pay lip service to the human rights of disabled supporters. It is time for accountability and positive action."
UEFA responded to The Independent's request for comment about LPF's assertion.
The review's preliminary conclusions, according to UEFA, will be released at the end of September, and the full report is expected in November.
