A VIEW FOR EVERY FAN
Crystal Palace FC became the first Premier League club to introduce a revolutionary vision-enhancement system for fans with sight loss. Partnering with GiveVision and Shared Access, the club installed a private 5G network at Selhurst Park allowing visually impaired supporters to stream live match footage to headsets from any seat. This breakthrough allowed supporters with low vision to enjoy matches in real time from any seat, making Crystal Palace the first club in the world to adopt such technology and set new standards for accessibility. This innovation addressed a major disparity in representation, increased visually impaired attendance by 300% in its first year, and sparked conversations across the Premier League about accessibility. The initiative demonstrates Palace’s commitment to inclusivity and positions the club as a global leader in technological innovation and social impact.
