Forum: Wheelchair-user and companion can watch historic football match with Sailors' help
We would like to thank Forum writer Shalom Lim Ern Rong for his letter 'Make it easier for fans with disabilities to enjoy historic sporting moments' (May 9).
We deeply appreciate his input, and at the Sailors, we are committed to ensuring all fans can enjoy football in a safe, inclusive and dignified environment.
We understand how crucial the presence of a regular caregiver is for persons with disabilities, and we regret the distress caused by the ticketing limitations in this instance.
While the event has experienced unprecedented demand and has reached full capacity, we are happy to accommodate patrons who require special assistance.
We have contacted Mr Lim to give him and his companion access to the wheelchair-accessible seating area at Bishan Stadium for our Asian Champions League Two Final against Sharjah FC on May 18, and have also worked out the entry route for them.
As a club, we take inclusivity and accessibility seriously, and we will do our best to accommodate exceptional requests that align with these principles where possible. Football is for everyone, and we are committed to serving our fans, who are the spirit and heart of our events.
