Methodology
This page exists so that we can be checked. Anyone who disagrees with a score should be able to see exactly how it was produced, what it does not claim, and where its limits are.
Who writes a report
Fans with disabilities who were at the match. Not our staff and not external inspectors. The commitment made on launch day was to range, not only to wheelchair users.
פעם אוהד בית, פעם אוהדת חוץ. פעם בכיסא גלגלים, פעם עם אוטיזם, פעם מלווה.
The five criteria
Every report is measured on the same five criteria, with the same definitions, so venues and dates can be compared. The wording here is the official wording from launch day and has not been rewritten since.
Buying tickets
The booking process, availability, and whether it accommodates disabled fans
Getting there
Parking, routes, and entrances
Watching the match
Position in the stand and sightline, including when the crowd is standing
Facilities
Toilets, concessions, and help points
Staff conduct
Stewards, security, and whether you are treated as part of the crowd

How a number is produced
- Each criterion is scored 1 to 10 by the contributor, not by us.
- "Didn't encounter this" is stored as absent, not as zero. Someone who did not use the toilets that match cannot score them, and an invented number poisons the average. A gap beats a guess.
- A venue score appears only from {n} reports upwards. One report is testimony, not an index. Below the threshold the individual reports are shown along with how many there are.
- Averages are computed at display time and never stored. A stored score becomes wrong the moment a report is corrected.
What we measure against
Not our own opinion. Every venue is checked against the five conclusions set by the Knesset Education, Culture and Sport Committee, in a hearing attended by the football association, the stadiums and the leagues administration.
עמדות נגישות עם שדה ראייה מלא גם כשהקהל עומד, בהתאם לחוק הקיים
אכיפה נגד המפרים את תקנות הנגישות
התחשבות במגבלות שקופות כגון פוסט טראומה ואפילפסיה, ובכלל זה הימנעות ממופעי אורות
שילוב טכנולוגיות מסייעות, כגון הקרנת המשחק על המסכים הקיימים
שילוב בעלי מוגבלויות בתהליכי קבלת ההחלטות ובפורומים של האוהדים
Knesset Education, Culture and Sport Committee, 21.05.2025
Each conclusion has four states: meets, partially meets, fails, and not checked. "Not checked" is the default and is shown as exactly that. It is not an endorsement, and we do not present a venue as compliant merely because nobody has looked at it yet.
Publication and right of reply
- Every report arrives pending and is published only after review and manual approval.
- A contributor's text is published as written, correcting spelling only. We do not rewrite what people wrote.
- Any body named in a report has a right of reply, and the reply is published inside the same page rather than somewhere separate. If two bodies point at each other, both replies appear side by side.
- When a body handles a complaint properly, we say so. The project is not against clubs.
What this index is not
Each of these is a real limitation, and we would rather write them down than be caught out on them.
- A score is one person's subjective experience at one match, not a factual verdict on the venue. A small sample reflects whoever reported, not fans in general.
- The sample is not representative. Whoever reports is whoever made it to the match, and that is already a filter: fans whom inaccessibility stops from attending at all never appear in the data.
- Most criteria depend on variables like the crowd on a given night or which steward was on the gate. A venue can score differently on identical infrastructure.
- The project is run by a private individual, not by an accredited inspection body. We document and measure; we do not carry out professional accessibility audits.
If something here is wrong
Tell us and we will fix it. It has already happened: details on Beitar's ticketing page were wrong, we took them down immediately and republished only what had been verified. A correction does not damage credibility, it is what builds it.
