As more and more competitions return to games behind closed doors, clubs are becoming more creative in engaging fans from a distance!
This issue holds a global perspective, with projects from Asia, Europe and the USA.
With a European line-up of speakers selected from several countries, we had a successful afternoon on the game changers in pitch management.
Two weeks ago, ESSMA launched the second part of the COVID-19 reporting. This part focusses on some practical implications of the return to the stadium for fans.
COVID-19 heavily impacts all industries that bring together big crowds. In order to inspire our members on how to organize a safe return to the stadium for larger groups of fans, we consulted Wilfried Covent from BrusselsAirport and Frank Wijnveld from CrowdProfessionals.
Interesting times ahead, where learnings of those who already restarted are of vital importance to their peers. ESSMA interviewed several stadiums to collect their insights.
The implementation of safety and hygienic measures is top of mind for stadium management all over Europe, as now they are welcoming thousands of fans back in the stands.
As we experienced technical problems during the Questions and Answers session from FC Tokyo during the workshop, we gladly present you this digital version.
