São Paulo announces Morumbi upgrades after PCD fan complaints | OneFootball

The Torcida Tricolor PCD, a São Paulo fan movement focused on the inclusion and accessibility of people with physical disabilities, made complaints and even issued a note of repudiation against sexist and ableist attacks allegedly coming from the club's accessibility management last month, and it had an effect.

Last Thursday (13), São Paulo announced a series of improvements it has been making to adapt its structure to offer comfort, autonomy, and safety to people with disabilities (PCDs) and reduced mobility.

In recent months, the Tricolor has implemented a series of significant changes in its accessibility operations, which include:

– Infrastructure and Access: The creation of the TEA Room (Autism Spectrum Disorder), a pioneering welcoming space; the implementation of an ostomized bathroom; the readjustment of the PCD sector for better visibility; the installation of adapted turnstiles; the lowering of external sidewalks and the removal of obstacles; and the consolidation of gate 17B as an exclusive and adequately flowing entrance.

– Management and Service: The modernization of the entry process with facial registration for PCDs; the availability of online purchase of accessible tickets; and the setting of a symbolic ticket price (R$ 1.10), aiming for equal opportunities.

– Support Team: The continuous training of employees and the formation of a welcoming team dedicated to assisting and guiding PCD fans on game days.

According to the club, these are just some of the actions already completed. São Paulo will also take advantage of the current period without games at Morumbi to intensify work and carry out new structural adjustments, further advancing in the modernization of the stadium.
