There is now hope for a return to normality as several countries around the world have re-opened their stadiums at varied capacities. Accordingly, many fans are eager to return to the stands for upcoming football seasons. However, in many cases, significant changes are required to ensure the health and safety of fans. Smart technologies like network cameras, smartphones and analytics are helping to ensure safety and security while also improving stadium operations and enhancing fan experience.

Special Focus: Stadium Security in 2021

We have been holding sports events for thousands of years, where dozens of competitors and thousands of spectators come together to race chariots or formula one cars, to throw spears or javelins, to wrestle or see who can run the fastest, to play some ball game like rugby, hockey, baseball, tennis or soccer, or even to hear some musicians at work. You would think that by now we would have safety and security at such events under control. Well, by and large, we have, but improvement is always possible. GIT SECURITY looks at some of the security products and solutions specifically conceived for stadiums, and others that add a lot to overall safety and security.
