During matches, Allianz Stadium can become noisy and crowded. Strong smells from food and drinks can also be prevalent. All these sensory elements can be overwhelming for individuals who have sensory needs and discourage them from attending events.
Sensory sensitivities or challenges with sensory regulation are often experienced by individuals with autism, dementia, PTSD, intellectual disabilities, mental health issues and other similar conditions.
A Sensory Room is now available which is located near the Allianz Stadium Members Cloaking Room and can be accessed by anyone who needs the space. Please contact a customer service team member to assist with this.
Sensory bags are also available and will make your event more inclusive and allow people of families to attend the event.
If you require access to the Sensory Room or a Sensory Bag at a Sydney FC game, please contact a member of the Allianz Stadium customer service staff at the game for more information.
