Hisense Enhances Accessibility at FIFA World Cup 2026

Consumer electronics firm Hisense, in collaboration with FIFA and KultureCity, is implementing measures to enhance the experience for sensorially sensitive fans at the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The initiative will be rolled out in all 16 host cities.

The intense stadium atmosphere, which can be overwhelming for individuals with sensory sensitivities such as those on the autism spectrum, is being addressed through dedicated spaces. Hisense and KultureCity are establishing "sensory rooms" and mobile "sensory spaces" to provide quiet areas for fans to decompress and manage sensory overload.

Hisense's display technology will be utilized within these spaces to present calming visual content, aiming to foster a more balanced and relaxed environment. KultureCity, an organization focused on creating sensory-inclusive environments, has assisted in the development of these facilities.

This project aligns with Hisense's broader commitment to inclusivity and its strategy to leverage technology to make events more accessible. The company aims to ensure that a wider range of fans can experience the World Cup equally.
