Empowering Football for Women – One Safe Stand at a Time
Building safer, more inclusive matchday experiences for women football fans everywhere.
About The Safe Stands
Our Story
The Safe Stands was created by women football fans who saw a gap in the game they love: a lack of safety and support for women on matchday. From that need, a movement was born to bring safety, dignity, and connection to stadiums across the country.
Our Mission
To transform football for women by championing safety, visibility, and inclusivity in stadium environments. We aim to create a supportive network that encourages more women to attend, enjoy, and thrive in football spaces.
Our Vision & Values
We’re building a future where all women feel safe, welcome, and empowered at football matches using technology, community, and partnerships with clubs to create lasting cultural change in the game.
