How space will help football fans to celebrate sport
Millions of supporters avidly follow football clubs across Europe, from Manchester United to Bayern Munich. Now ESA is partnering with UEFA to use space to help ensure the safety of football fans and the sustainability of the sport – as well as exploring other ways in which space can help promote football.
Almost 75,000 people converge on Manchester United’s Old Trafford stadium when it is at capacity, while a similar number of fans follow the action live at Bayern Munich’s home ground of the Allianz Arena.
Keeping crowds safe is a long-standing challenge for civil authorities aided by football clubs.
