PSV leads the way with inclusive digital innovation

PSV has become the first professional football organization in the Netherlands to take a major step toward a more inclusive digital experience.

In collaboration with Eye-Able® Benelux, the club’s website is being made accessible to everyone, regardless of their abilities. This initiative underscores PSV’s commitment to inclusivity in Dutch football.

With the implementation of Eye-Able Assist and Eye-Able Audit, PSV is creating a more user-friendly online environment. Eye-Able Assist offers tools such as adjustable contrast, a magnifier, and text-to-speech functionality, allowing users to tailor the website to their individual needs. Eye-Able Audit provides a thorough analysis of the site to identify and address accessibility issues based on WCAG guidelines.

“This collaboration is a wonderful step toward greater inclusivity in Dutch football,” says Jörgen van der Meulen, Technical Lead Engineer PSV at PSV. He emphasizes the importance of accessibility for all fans and expresses his gratitude to the PSV team, Menno Hoekstra from Eye-Able, and Carl Derks from Referro for the excellent cooperation.

With this initiative, PSV sets an example not only within football but beyond. Fans—regardless of their abilities—can now enjoy a truly accessible digital experience. A new milestone for inclusivity and innovation in the world of sports!
