New guidance system for disabled attendees

The Stadium Toulouse Métropole has introduced a mobile guidance system called Ezymob to help people with disabilities navigate the venue more easily during events like football matches, rugby games, and concerts. The system aims to provide clearer directions and support for individuals with mobility or sensory challenges.

Collaboration with local sports teams

The implementation of Ezymob followed detailed mapping of the stadium during the off-season, done in partnership with the Toulouse Football Club (TFC) and Stade Toulousain. This mapping ensured the system could accommodate specific needs, such as accessible routes and facilities for different types of disabilities.

Part of broader accessibility efforts

The Ezymob system is part of a larger initiative to improve accessibility at the stadium. Local authorities have been promoting this through programs like Ad'AP, which offers audio descriptions, and through labels like Destination for All and Villes pour Tous. These programs include tools such as vibrating vests, which help the deaf, hard of hearing, or autistic community experience events more fully.

Mayor emphasizes inclusive sports experience

Jean-Luc Moudenc, Mayor of Toulouse and President of Toulouse Métropole, emphasized that disability should not prevent people from enjoying sports. He stated that the goal is to remove barriers and ensure that everyone can feel the emotions of live events at the stadium.

Support from sports club leaders

Olivier Cloarec, President of Toulouse FC, highlighted that accessibility has long been a priority for the club. He praised the collaboration with Toulouse Métropole and Stade Toulousain in deploying Ezymob, calling it a meaningful step toward inclusive event management.

Stade Toulousain commits to inclusion

Didier Lacroix, President of Stade Toulousain, echoed the importance of ensuring that everyone, regardless of their abilities, can attend and enjoy sporting events. He stressed that making the stadium accessible is a shared responsibility and a key goal for the club.
