to discuss accessibility at sports venues.</p><p> </p><p>Our Sports Strategy sends
a clear message to all sports that sports stadia should provide an inclusive environment
that welcomes all spectators. While the spotlight on accessibility is rightly on football,
we want all sports to ensure they fulfil their legal obligations towards disabled
fans. We will be looking to other sports to follow football’s example, to ensure disabled
spectators receive the legal requirements to which they are entitled.</p><p> </p><p>The

enforcing the Equality Act 2010 The EHRC has powers to ensure service providers, including
sports stadia, fulfil their legal obligations under the Act.</p><p> </p>
