UEFA is offering blind and partially sighted supporters around the world the chance to experience all EURO 2024 matches with audio-descriptive commentary (ADC). Spain vs. Italy is no exception: fans can listen to the match in their mother tongue through the UEFA EURO 2024 app. To find ADC, supporters need to navigate to More, At the Event, Audio-Descriptive commentary. ADC is designed to give blind and partially sighted fans additional information on what is happening in the match, with a specially trained commentator providing a more detailed account of the action. This includes descriptions of the position of the ball on the pitch, body language and facial expressions – essentially, every piece of significant visual information that is important to conveying the story of the match. UEFA EURO 2024 is the first European Championship ever to feature ADC in the languages of competing teams.

As part of the sustainability strategy adopted by the FIGC, an audio-description service is always available in the stadiums hosting the home matches of the National Team: alongside their respective companions, blind and visually impaired fans can follow Italy’s matches from the stands thanks to dedicated commentary accessible from their smartphones.
