TOULOUSE FC WILL HOST THE “MOST INCLUSIVE MATCH”

On the occasion of the World Football Summit in Madrid, and in partnership with Integrated Dreams, the LFP and Toulouse FC announced on Thursday, October 16th, the next edition of the “Most Inclusive Match,” to be held in March 2026 during the Toulouse FC vs FC Lorient fixture, as part of Matchday 27 of Ligue 1 McDonald’s.

The Most Inclusive Match is a pioneering initiative co-created by World Football Summit and Integrated Dreams to break down barriers and create a matchday experience where people with disabilities can fully enjoy the game — by improving accessibility both on and off the pitch.

Since its launch,in 2023, the Most Inclusive Match has been hosted by Real Betis, Atlético de Madrid, and most recently Real Sociedad. This will be the first-ever Most Inclusive Match held outside Spain.

The event, co-organized by Toulouse FC and the LFP as part of the ongoing #1TEAM initiative, reflects the LFP and the clubs’ determination to promote a tolerant and inclusive sport, promoting stadium accessibility for people with disabilities, so that football remains open to everyone.

The “Most Inclusive Match” aims to develop and promote inclusion and accessibility for people with disabilities through stadium accessibility measures and public awareness initiatives.

As part of its CSR strategy, the LFP aspires to make Ligue 1 McDonald’s and Ligue 2 BKT competitions accessible for people with disabilities. During the season, the LFP collaborates with clubs and shares concrete recommendations (guidelines, online workshops, connecting with service providers) to improve stadium accessibility. In this context, the LFP has integrated accessibility-related criteria into Club Licensing (disability access officer, ticketing accessibility, accessibility information) to ensure the implementation of its recommendations.

The co-organization of the “Most Inclusive Match,” in collaboration with Toulouse FC, the World Football Summit, and Integrated Dreams, is part of the #1Team for Inclusion program. 
Integrated Dreams is a non-profit association based in Lisbon, Portugal, working for inclusion of disabled people in the sports industry.
