The Liverpool FC Disabled Supporters Association has branded UEFA's allocation for wheelchair users at Saturday's Champions League final as "totally unacceptable".
Jurgen Klopp's Reds take on Real Madrid at the Stade de France which has 550 wheelchair spaces, but only 93 will be in use for the match, with each team getting 38.
"This would be a meagre allocation in any circumstances for a game of this magnitude but given the Stade de France usually has 550 spaces available it is totally unacceptable," a statement from the LFC Disabled Supporters Association read.
We have over 200 wheelchair bays at Anfield and as a result of the shortfall, many of our supporters who are wheelchair users have been left disappointed."
Level Playing Field - a charity which acts a campaign group for disabled sports fans - wrote to UEFA to ask about the issue. The governing body said they "acknowledge the situation and states that we (UEFA) agree that the number of seats available to disabled and low mobility supporters is insufficient. We (UEFA) constantly work to ensure the best possible conditions to eliminate barriers to access to UEFA competitions matches.
