"To mark International Day for Persons with Disabilities, FC Bayern would once again like to raise awareness of integration and at the same time encourage those affected to play an active role in our society. Around 15 per cent of the world's population live with a disability. Let us all help to include them. Our club fosters self-determined and equal participation with various projects. It's not only in sport that it's crucial to practise togetherness."
"A groundbreaking highlight in terms of accessibility in 2025 was how FC Bayern implemented the Barrierefreiheitsstärkungsgesetz (Accessibility Improvement Act), which came into force this year. For many fans, contact with the club starts via digital media, and this is where real participation begins. Digital accessibility is not a project, but a clear commitment: everyone who wants to be there is part of the game - and part of FC Bayern."
FC Bayern will illuminate the Allianz Arena in purple on 3 December as part of the global #PurpleLightUp campaign for International Day of Persons with Disabilities. The United Nations has promoted the day since 1992. Around 15 percent of the world’s population live with a disability. FC Bayern promotes integration and encourages affected individuals to play active societal roles through projects that foster self-determined and equal participation. The club implemented the Accessibility Improvement Act in 2025 and has worked for over three years to make digital services fully accessible, setting technical standards and embedding inclusion in corporate culture.
