CAFE and Football for All Leadership Offer Webinars for Industry Stakeholders

The Football For All Leadership is organising in partnership with Centre for Access to Football in Europe (CAFE) a series of talks with leaders and experts to provide helpful advice and guidance to stakeholders across football in improving access and inclusion for all disabled people. The talks kicked off at the beginning of October and will run all through the month of November.

The free online webinars are meant to offer support and guidance to a number of areas relating to sport, disability inclusion and innovations within the industry. The Football For All Leadership Programme aims to support disabled people in achieving their dreams of working within the sporting sector, encouraging change and wider awareness within sport of the important roles that disabled people can play.

The first talk took place on 6 October, entitled “How can a stadium be accessible to disabled fans?” and featured CAFE’s Managing Director Joanna Deagle, as well as AFL Architects Senior Associate Rita Ochoa, and Matt McCann, CEO of Access Earth.
