Accessing the UK's biggest sporting events - 2023 Summer of Sport
With the short January days and temperatures in the UK edging towards 0 degrees, we are brightening things up by taking a look back at an incredible summer of sport in 2023, and how TEAMcard solutions played a key role in close to 1.5 million sports fans attending some of the world's most iconic sporting events in the summer sunshine.
In the space of just 3 weeks in July, TEAMcard deployed hundreds of fixed and portable Access Control scanners across four iconic sporting sites, managing access at hundreds of public gates and restricted areas.
Beginning on the 3rd July in London, the Wimbledon Championships, hosted by AELTC welcomed more than 530,000 spectators across the two-week tournament in 2023 - setting a new attendance record for the event.
Midway through the first week of competition at Wimbledon, the Formula 1 British Grand Prix kicked off at the home of British motor racing, Silverstone Circuit. Once again the event broke its own attendance records this summer, welcoming over 480,000 racing fans across 5 days of action in the Northamptonshire countryside.
Just 4 days later, and still during the second week of Tennis at Wimbledon, fifty miles south on the Goodwood Estate the legendary Goodwood Festival of Speed kicked off, attracting more than 200,000 automotive fanatics across the 4 scheduled days of action.

Just 48 hours after the engines were switched off at Goodwood and the champions were crowned on Centre Court at Wimbledon, the R&A opened their gates to welcome more than 260,000 golf fans from across the world to the 151st Open Championship hosted at Royal Liverpool Golf Club on The Wirral.
Combining the above, TEAMcard Access Control solutions supported venue access for more than 1.47 million fans across 21 days of action at 4 iconic sporting events.
