Brøndby, Denmark, 21 August 2026 — Betano and Brøndby IF have introduced the next phase of their joint inclusion project with new wheelchair spaces, companion seats and an Accessibility Zone making Brøndby Stadium more accessible for all fans.
The improvements build on the first phase of the project, which introduced permanent audio-descriptive commentary at all home matches earlier this year – the first such service offered by a club in the Nordics.
The new wheelchair spaces in the North Stand offer improved sightlines, while additional companion seats allow more supporters to attend matches with family and friends. Beside the wheelchair section, a new Accessibility Zone has capacity for 90 supporters with reduced mobility. The area is accessible via Entrance F with minimal use of stairs and, for the first time, provides storage for walkers, rollators and other mobility aids during matches.
Søren Hanghøj, Communications Director at Brøndby IF, said: “The community at Brøndby Stadium should be one that as many people as possible can be part of. At the same time, we know that some of our supporters still face barriers that others never have to think about when attending a football match. We have a responsibility to remove those barriers wherever we can. That is why I am delighted that we are now able to take another concrete step forward. First with audio-descriptive commentary, and now by improving the stadium’s physical accessibility. We’ve made good progress, but our work is far from finished, and we will continue to build on these efforts.”
Kresten Hougaard, Country Manager at Betano, added: “Football brings people together, and as few people as possible should experience practical or physical barriers that prevent them from being part of that community. That is exactly what we want to help achieve together with Brøndby IF. We are proud that this project is now delivering tangible improvements for supporters at Brøndby Stadium, and we look forward to continuing our work with the club to make football more accessible for everyone.”
In addition to the new wheelchair section and Accessibility Zone, the existing wheelchair lift serving the East Stand accessibility platform will be replaced during the autumn. The new lift will accommodate all types of wheelchairs. Around the stadium, new rest benches have also been installed along the route from the parking area to the South Fanzone, allowing supporters with reduced mobility to take a break on their way to the stadium.
Work on these initiatives has been underway since last year and has been shaped through dialogue with supporters and guidance from accessibility experts. These latest improvements represent another important step in Brøndby IF’s long-term ambition to remove barriers and create a matchday experience where more people can be part of the community regardless of their individual circumstances.
