From amateur leagues to UEFA EURO.

saferspaces is part of the safeguarding concept at two consecutive UEFA European Championships – and proven in match operations from the 2. Bundesliga to the Allianz Arena.

Proof of Concept

Part of the UEFA safeguarding concept.

At both UEFA EURO 2024 and UEFA EURO 2025 in Switzerland, saferspaces was in use as the rapid-response mechanism at every match venue – documented and linked on uefa.com as part of the Human Rights programme.

Challenges

Challenges in professional sport

Requirements keep rising – saferspaces offers an end-to-end safety system that covers everything from first report to detailed analysis.

  1. DFB/DFL compliance

    Licensing conditions require protection concepts with documented reporting channels. saferspaces covers DFB, DFL, and UEFA requirements in one system – and is part of the DFL/DFB initiative for stadium innovations.

  2. Large venues, small teams

    QR codes in every sector, entrance, and sanitary area cover every zone. What would otherwise require significantly more staff scales without costs rising proportionally.

  3. Lowering the barrier

    Approaching a stranger in a stadium is hard. A visible, anonymous reporting system also reaches groups that have avoided stadiums so far.

  4. Missing data basis

    Automated matchday reports with heatmaps and filtering by sector, time, and incident type – for targeted prevention instead of post-hoc cleanup.

Benefits

Clear benefits for your club.

Automated matchday reports

After every matchday a finished report is ready – with charts, incident dynamics, and league documentation. No manual post-processing.

Reduced liability risk

End-to-end documentation of every incident – from initial report to case closure. Demonstrable compliance for DFB, DFL, and authorities.

Broader audiences

A visible reporting system lowers the barrier for groups that have avoided stadiums. A stronger sense of safety means higher occupancy.

Reachable at away games

Via the club link, fans reach the team from any location – including away games or the journey there. Safety doesn't stop at the stadium gate.

Simple setup

Fully cloud-based, no IT infrastructure required. The only prerequisite: stable network coverage inside the stadium.

GDPR by design

Pseudonymous report under GDPR — no real names, no contact details. No device identifiers. Primary hosting in the EU (GCP Frankfurt).
