Overview

• Manchester United becomes the first Premier League club to provide sanitary products for male fans with incontinence at its stadium, Old Trafford.
• The initiative follows a study by Prostate Cancer UK and PHS Group, which found that half of men with bladder issues avoid attending football matches due to inadequate facilities.
• The study also revealed that one in seven men with incontinence has entirely stopped going to stadiums to watch live football.
• Prostate Cancer UK reports that one in eight men in the UK is diagnosed with prostate cancer, with two-thirds of patients experiencing incontinence at some point.
• Advocates, including Prostate Cancer UK, praise the move as a significant step toward inclusivity and hope it inspires similar changes across football at all levels.
