Manchester United Launches Sunflower Lanyards for Hidden Disabilities

Manchester United has introduced the Sunflower Lanyard Scheme to support fans with non-visible disabilities. The initiative aims to create a more inclusive experience on matchdays at Old Trafford. The lanyard helps staff quickly recognise supporters who may need extra assistance in busy or loud environments. By wearing it, fans with hidden disabilities can discreetly signal when they require help.

The scheme reflects the club’s wider commitment to accessibility. Those who wish to take part can request a lanyard through Manchester United’s official website. The new system provides a simple way for supporters to access support without drawing unnecessary attention. It builds on ongoing efforts to ensure all fans can enjoy games comfortably and safely.
