Manchester United Introduces Men’s Hygiene Products at Old Trafford

The Premier League club aims to make stadium visits more inclusive, highlighting a broader push for accessibility in football venues.

  • Manchester United becomes the first Premier League club to offer hygiene products for men with bladder issues, including incontinence pads, at Old Trafford.
  • This initiative is seen as a significant step toward inclusivity, especially for older men who may face health challenges like prostate cancer-related incontinence.
  • In Germany, gender-neutral toilets have become standard at national team matches and are increasingly available in Bundesliga stadiums, with some clubs also offering free menstrual products.
  • The organization 'KickIn!' has been working since 2017 to improve accessibility in German football stadiums but notes that a comprehensive approach to inclusivity is still lacking.
  • Experts emphasize that while progress is being made, initiatives like Manchester United's remain rare, and a broader cultural shift is needed to address barriers for all fans.
