Level Playing Field has recognised the accessible facilities and services at Cardiff City FC and presented the award at our home fixture vs. Middlesbrough on Saturday, 11th February, 2023.

Cardiff City Football Club is the first club in Wales and only the sixth club to achieve this award and Cardiff City Stadium sits alongside Wembley Stadium, The Etihad Stadium (Manchester City FC), Pride Park (Derby County FC), The American Express Community Stadium (Brighton & Hove Albion FC) and The Emirates Stadium (Arsenal FC) as the only football grounds to have reached this standard.

The “Level Playing Field Centre of Excellence Award” is presented to sporting venues that demonstrate the highest access and inclusion standards in accommodating disabled spectators and visitors on match (or event) and non-match days. To qualify for the award, the club or venue undergoes a Level Playing Field professional access audit and must demonstrate that it meets all good practice standards, equality and access legislation and building regulations for accessible sports stadia.


A small positive story amongst all the anger, gloom and derision.
