Athletic Bilbao Introduces Safe Standing

Athletic Club has introduced the ‘Rail Seat’ system in its famous stadium in Bilbao to improve the fan experience and increase safety.

Fans who would have stood anyway now have more space and aren’t blocking the view of those behind.

The Bilbao club elected to install the pioneering ‘Rail Seat’ system, which has emerged as a popular new initiative for safe standing in football.
