History was made in the world of football with the recent UEFA Champions League game at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano Stadium, marking a significant milestone in accessibility and inclusion. From the moment the matchday experience began, fans of all abilities were not just accommodated, but celebrated. Activities included an inspiring exhibition of wheelchair soccer and three young champions with #Downsyndrome entering the field alongside the referee, setting the tone for a truly special event. The match didn't just happen on the pitch; sensory rooms provided a calm space for those in need, #audiodescription #ADC services ensured every moment was felt, and #signlanguage interpretations graced the video boards during the national anthem and team lineups, breaking new ground for inclusion in sports. This wasn’t just about football; it was about community, compassion, and breaking barriers. As the CEO of AccessibAll Olivier Jarosz mentioned, "The most important goal was purely social, and we’re thrilled to have achieved it, the movement has begun! Inclusivity isn’t about statistics, it’s about ensuring everyone’s involved. If you want figures, with three-digit registration numbers already we’ll see you back in Riyadh Air Metropolitano in less than 20 days for the largest disabled event yet, alongside UEFA, FIFA, and clubs united by this cause. These are the values that define Club Atlético de Madrid and we are proud to share them with the world and huge thanks to collaborative efforts with Diario AS, Integrated Dreams and World Football Summit" Video description: The accompanying video showcases the event, highlighting Club Atlético de Madrid's match against LOSC in the most inclusive UEFA Champions League game ever, focusing on several aspects of accessibility, with special attention given to non-visible disabilities. #Inclusion #FootballForAll #AccessibAll #UCL #SocialValues #AccessibilityMatters
