Chelsea match dedicated to Level Playing Field annual campaign

First team show their support for disabled organisation.

The Leeds United first team showed their support for the annual Level Playing Field Weeks of Action campaign ahead of kick off on Saturday afternoon.

The club dedicated the Chelsea match, which ended 0-0, to the campaign that takes place every year to promote and showcase the work being done by clubs, Disabled Supporters Associations (DSAs), supporters and other organisations to improve accessibility and inclusion across all sports.

Ahead of kick-off the Leeds United squad donned Level Playing Field t-shirts to show their support for the work being done by the organisation, with information included in the matchday programme and on the big screen at Elland Road.

This year the aim of the campaign, which has been taken online due to the coronavirus pandemic, is to drive a greater matchday experience to encourage more disabled fans to watch the game. The key objective for the Weeks of Action is to raise awareness around access at sporting events and how it benefits disabled fans and the wider community.

The Leeds United Foundation and Leeds United Disabled Organisation (LUDO) continue to work with the club and Level Playing Field to improve facilities and opportunities for those with disabilities in our local community.

If any supporters have any queries with regards to access for disabled fans at Elland Road, please contact the Disabled Liaison Officer at Leeds United via email at disabledinfo@leedsunited.com. There is also information available on the website for disabled supporters here.
