Sports Grounds Safety Authority

The SGSA is the UK Government’s advisor on safety at sports grounds and a world leader in safety.

We provide independent, expert advice, based on nearly three decades of experience in making football in England and Wales a safe and enjoyable experience for spectators. We use our experience to advise and support other sports and related industries in the UK and internationally.

Put simply, our purpose is to ensure sports grounds are safe for everyone.

Our expert team of Inspectors provide first-rate support and advice based on their collective knowledge of areas including engineering, policing, emergency planning and facilities management. They support individual clubs and grounds, sports bodies, governments, architects and engineers to minimise risk and help deliver safe events for all.
