==Audio description in football stadiums== In 2006, on the occasion of the [[2006 FIFA World Cup]] in [[Germany]], a project was launched with the aim of making the live commentary of a match available to blind and visually impaired football fans in the stadium. The project was very well-received and had great success. In 2008, audio description in football was also adopted in Switzerland. The radio of [[FC Basel 1893]] was the first club in Switzerland to take up this topic. First, [[FC Basel]] installed an antenna in [[St. Jakob Park]], which was used to broadcast the radio's live commentary. The visually impaired and blind fans could then listen to the commentary via a VHF frequency. More and more clubs in the [[Swiss Super League]] adopted this concept and today the matches can be heard via audio description in every stadium in [[Switzerland]]. At [[St. Jakob-Park]] in [[Basel]], even without delay via the Internet. In the meantime, the outdated technology of FM transmission has been abolished. Today, the games are broadcast via cell phone apps. In [[Germany]], almost every stadium is also equipped with this technology.
