AccessibAll Highlights Stadium Accessibility Ahead Of FIFA Club World Cup

AccessibAll, Union of European Football Associations’ core Corporate Social Responsibility partner for improving access and inclusion for disabled people, continues its advocacy work as Rose Bowl Stadium prepares to host matches during the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup. The Pasadena venue was selected as one of 12 stadiums for the tournament running from June 15 to July 13, 2025.

In a recent video on Twitter (@AccessibAll), AccessibAll highlighted how Rose Bowl Stadium is ready to welcome all fans with accessibility tips as part of their #AccessAcademy educational initiative, specifically referencing the upcoming FIFA Club World Cup (@FIFACWC).

“For over a decade, the AccessibAll has worked hand in hand with the UEFA to break barriers and create a game that truly welcomes everyone,” said Olivier Jarosz, AccessibAll Chief Executive Officer. “These new Guidelines aren’t just about compliance — they’re about transforming the matchday experience for the disabled fans.”

The Rose Bowl Stadium offers comprehensive accessibility features for all fans.

The venue provides approximately 380 accessible seat pairs extending around the entire circumference, offering varying sight lines and ticket prices. Field-level seating remains accessible to wheelchair users through Tunnel 28, where a walkway leads to a field access elevator.

Joe, a fan who experienced the Rose Bowl’s accessibility firsthand, shared: “The seats/view are cool, about a third of the way up. The aisles are pretty narrow. I didn’t see any elevators but the seats are all at one level with long tunnels, easier for a manual wheelchair or power chair.”

AccessibAll, established in 2009 with Union of European Football Associations funding and formerly known as Centre for Access to Football in Europe, runs an annual #TotalAccess campaign to raise awareness about accessibility and inclusion in football.

FIFA President Gianni Infantino emphasized the tournament’s inclusive vision, stating: “Football is the most popular sport on the planet, and in 2025 a new era for club football will kick off when FIFA stages the greatest, most inclusive and merit-based global club competition right here in the United States.”
